Guidelines for Obtaining Medial Care for your Injury

As leading vehicle accident lawyers, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock resolve to obtain medical treatment for the individual injured in an auto or motorcycle accident. However, it is important for the injured party to keep these tips in mind when visiting the doctor for the personal injury. Insurance companies and those working with the defendant look to find inconsistencies in the information reported by the claimant to the healthcare provider, hoping to apply these irregularities to the claim. Here are some guidelines for receiving treatment for your injuries, while personal injury attorney Cameron Brock pursues full settlement of your medical expenses. 

Recieve medical care as soon as possible. While you might be in panic as a result of the accident, it is very important to see the doctor immediately and to follow up with recommended visits and any referrals. Receiving medical attention lends credibility to your situation and provides for your ultimate rehabilitation. The opposing side looks for inconsistent treatment to prove your injury isn't serious, so follow all of your doctor’s recommendations.

·         Don’t be afraid to be repetitive in the information you provide the doctor. While you don’t need to tell the doctor you have a personal injury claim in progress, please tell him directly that your pain is a result of the accident. Your comments will be documented.

·         Hold on to copies of all receipts, treatment statements, etc. It is important to build your own paper trail, and as distressing as your injuries are, having these documents in your possession helps keep your head in the case.

·         Speak to doctors regarding payment arrangements. In the case that you don't have health insurance or treatment funds, attempt to schedule smaller payments over the course of time with the medical provider. You should not be dissuaded from receiving the attention you require.    

While these general strategies are helpful, Brock and his associates will provide the client with specific information relating to his or her case. If you have suffered as the result of an automobile or motorcycle accident, contact the personal injury law firm of Burg & Brock today.
