Why It's So Important to Get Medical Care After an Accident

Posted By Paulsen Law Group || 9-May-2017

If you are seriously injured in a car accident, you will most likely receive immediate medical attention at the emergency room. But how about less serious crashes, where there is no immediate injury or pain?

After a relatively minor accident, many people avoid going to the doctor or hospital because they do not have any exterior or noticeable injuries. However, it is necessary to receive proper medical care and also important for compensation of physical and psychological damages.

The following are common reasons why it is important to get medical treatment after an accident:

  • Adrenaline’s effect on the body. When a crash occurs, adrenaline courses through our body due to the overwhelming experience of the scene itself. It can mask the symptoms of injuries, which causes you to feel no pain whatsoever.
  • Understand the full extent of your injuries. Some injuries do not start showing signs or symptoms for hours or even days after the car accident. A doctor can administer medical tests to determine if you have any damage or injury.
  • Diagnosis can help with your legal claim. If another party was at fault for causing your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost earnings from missed work, as well as pain and suffering. But in order to be successful in your claim, you need to provide sufficient evidence of the nature of your injuries suffered and the treatment you required. Without a medical diagnosis, proving your injuries can be a challenge.

If you suffered an injury in a car accident in Florida that was caused by negligence, contact our Dunedin personal injury lawyer at Paulsen Law Group today.
