Many people wonder what the most important thing is when evaluating their personal injury claim after they’ve been involved in a car wreck.
Hi, I’m Brad Parker, the attorney you want but hope you never need and this is another edition of Bar Talk. Give me 60 seconds and I’ll give you the answer.
After you’ve been involved in a car accident, it’s vitally important that you seek medical treatment. Medical treatment is the single most important factor in evaluating any claim. You could be in a horrific accident that totals your car, but you have no damages, or very minor damages. In this case, the claim is not worth a lot because there are no injuries—thank goodness!
However, oftentimes many people have injuries but they just don’t go to the doctor. If you don’t go to the doctor, you can’t substantiate the claim. Therefore, the most important thing you need to do, and the most important thing in evaluating a car wreck claim, is the medical treatment that follows.
I hope this has been some help to you. I’m Brad Parker, the attorney you want but hope you never need, and this has been another edition of Bar Talk. Until next time!
