The Cost of Not Going to the Doctor After an Accident

Carrollton Personal Injury Lawyer
Written By Carrollton Injury Lawyer Joel Hudson

If you are in an accident, the first thing you should do is get medical treatment. Going to the doctor after an accident establishes proof that you were injured in the accident. The longer you put it off, the less likely it is that the opposing insurance company will cover the cost of treatment. They may say things like, “They didn’t go to the doctor, they must not be hurt that bad,” or “Those injuries are not related to the accident since they didn’t go see a doctor right away.”

Go to the Doctor as Soon as You Can

If you were in a car accident, you may not feel the effects of it on your back and neck until the next day, or even a few days later. Once the adrenaline wears off, the back pain can start to creep in and you may be responsible for paying for your own medical care at that point. We all know how those costs can add up, so be sure you establish care with a doctor as soon as you can after the accident so your treatment costs can be filed with your personal injury claim.

Is Cost a Concern in Going to the Doctor?

Personal injury firms like Carrollton Injury Law can help you find a doctor that does not require payment up front. These doctors work under a Letter of Protection, which means they agree to collect their fees out of the final settlement. This eases the financial burden on you and can help get you the maximum value for your personal injury claim by establishing that the accident caused your injuries.

I’ve seen how a single injury can ripple through every part of your life, affecting not just you but your family too. That’s why my approach is different. At Carrollton Injury Law, we don’t just chase settlements; we focus on you. I’ve found that giving clients the extra attention many Dallas law firms overlook leads to happier clients, smoother dealings with adjusters who appreciate the updates, and, ultimately, higher injury settlements in less time. My clients often call me the “personal” attorney because we care about maximizing your recovery while also helping you navigate the disruptions a car accident or injury brings—whether it’s medical bills, lost work, or simply getting back to normal.

I earned my Juris Doctor from Texas A&M University School of Law in 1998, after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Business at Texas Christian University in 1992. Since being admitted to practice in Texas in 1998, I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for injury victims across the state.
