3 Reasons Why you Should Seek Medical Attention After An Accident

So you’ve been injured in an accident, whether it is a slip and fall in a retail establishment or a motor vehicle accident, you need to seek medical attention. 

Let me give you three reasons why.

First, you want to seek medical attention to check for injuries and rule out the need for surgery and/or strains or sprains. You also want to maximize your recovery after an accident or injury. Without seeking medical attention and allowing your body to heal you are prolonging your injury. Going to work or lifting heavy objects while injured can make your injuries worse. 

A second reason you want to seek medical attention after an accident is to gather evidence to prove and support your claim for damages sustained.  Medical evidence is just one form of proof that you sustained an injury. 

An additional reason you want to seek medical attention after an accident is because without medical evidence to prove you are injured your claim for damages are weak. Your attorney will not be able to prove you were injured if there are no medical records that show injuries sustained from the accident. The accident itself is not enough to substantiate a claim for bodily injuries.
