TREATING YOUR INJURIES AFTER CAR ACCIDENT IN ROSWELL
If you are injured in Roswell, it is very important that you seek medical care for your injuries as soon as possible. Common injuries seen from car wrecks, slip and falls, and other third-party liability claims are fractures, spinal injuries, head injuries including concussions, soft tissue injuries including sprains and strains, burns, and lacerations. First, you want to have a medical professional assess your injuries, so you can determine the severity of your injuries. Often times after you have received a diagnosis, the medical provider will develop a treatment plan for you to follow. Second, you want to seek treatment as soon as you can after a wreck because if you wait too long, the insurance company will use a gap in treatment against you when it comes time to pay you for your injuries. The insurance company essentially says, “if you were hurt, then you would have gone to the doctor. You waited too long, so you either weren’t hurt, or your injuries were caused by something else other than the wreck.”
Injured victims often wonder how to handle medical bills after an accident. If you have health insurance, you will want to use it and ensure that the provider is billing your health insurance as opposed to treating on a lien. If you do not have health insurance, then you will have to find a provider that will be willing to treat you on a lien basis. This means that the provider will not bill you for any charges, or expect any payment, until after your case has resolved.
If you have been injured in a car wreck in Roswell, you will want to notify your own automobile insurance company and inform them about the wreck even if you are not at fault. Your insurance plan may include medical payments coverage which will help pay for your medical bills associated with the injuries you suffered in the wreck.
OUR ROSWELL ATTORNEYS CAN HELP ANSWER “HOW DO I MAXIMIZE MY RECOVERY FOLLOWING A CAR ACCIDENT IN ROSWELL?”
When you are treating for your injuries, it is important to explain all of your injuries, even the little ones, to the medical provider so everything can be documented in the medical records. Also, if you have received prior treatment for a similar injury, be sure to let the treating physician know so that she can take an accurate history of your current medical condition.
Insurance companies will not compensate you for your injuries if they are not properly documented. Most importantly, it is hard to convince a jury that someone is injured if they did not go to the doctor and treat for the injuries they are claiming were caused by the specific incident.
Once the provider has established a treatment plan, you will want to do everything the doctor is instructing you to do in order to recover from your injuries. Much like waiting too long to treat, insurance companies also jump at the opportunity to deny a claim if they can argue that you did not do everything recommended by the doctor to get better. The common argument is this – “if you would have completed all of the physical therapy prescribed by the doctor then you would be better and not still having pain.”
