  1. Seeking Medical Treatment After An Accident Is Important

  2. When you head out in your vehicle each day, the last thing you are thinking about is getting into an accident. Unfortunately, the Pennsylvania DOT gives them some statistics that show accidents are a real possibility. Consider that they live and work in and around Pittsburgh, and they know accidents are a reality. For the latest reporting year, they saw 128,188 vehicle accidents. Thousands of those resulted in injuries to our citizens. Do you know the steps to take after an accident that is caused by another person’s negligence?

  3. Why is that? Because they will argue that you were not really hurt at the time of the accident. If you were, they will say, you would have sought immediate treatment. They do this because they want to save money. While they would like to think of insurance companies as being on their side, that is not usually the case. If you seek treatment immediately after an accident, this takes away the insurance company’s case. A doctor needs to be the one to determine if you have an injury as it is, so let them do their job. It is also important to follow all treatment that the doctor prescribes. This includes coming to any follow-up visits required or seeing specialists.

  4. Why is that? The purpose of doing all of this is to show a continuous chain of events beginning with the accident. Please know that insurance companies will begin calling you soon after an accident takes place. They will record your statement and even ask you about your medical history. If they think they can use an old injury you sustained to show you are not injured due to the current accident, they will.

  5. How They Can Help There are few things scarier than a car accident that causes injuries.
