There are two types of gaps in treatment. One is the gap between when you got in the accident, and when you first start treating for the injuries from that same accident.

For example #

You were in a car accident today but you did not seek medical help until six months later. The other type of gap is when you did see a doctor for your injuries right after the accident. And then let serval months go by before you see him or her again. In a personal injury case, the insurance adjuster will be looking for ways to devalue your claim. If they see that there is a gap in medical treatment. They will try to use this as evidence that your injuries are not as severe as you’re claiming. That is why it is important not only to meet with your doctor regularly, but you should also keep a journal of your visits. Write down pain and suffering. – New or existing from the date of the onset, from the accident.

What is today’s lesson? #

Do not miss your appointment with your treating physician and try to see a medical professional as soon as possible after a car accident. If you have any other questions for the gap in medical treatment don’t hesitate to reach out at 314-352-6800. Thank you very much and you have a good day.
