Personal injury claim medical treatment – What to expect CONTACT FOYLE LEGAL Medical evidence is essential in establishing a right to compensation in a personal injury claim such as a motor vehicle accident injury claim, workers compensation claim, public liability claim, criminal injuries compensation claim or medical negligence claim. Many people have not sought much by way of medical treatment in the past, and do not know how to get started. In this article we have explained how to get started with medical treatment. Speak to your GP or Attend at a Hospital In injuries that are more severe people who have suffered injury are ordinarily taken to hospital. In injuries that are mild the injured person is often left wondering what they should do. Some of the questions that go through people’s minds include whether they are overreacting by seeking medical treatment at all. It is important to realise that in a personal injury claim much of what is discussed is about the documented records that show that a person has suffered an injury. It is therefore the case that after an accident, the injured person should attend at least a general practitioner and set out in full the nature and extent of their injuries. Attend for regular medical treatment Another important aspect of a personal injury claim is showing, by way of evidence, that an injury is a persisting injury. The best way to do this in most cases is to attend a general practitioner, or specialist regularly to report the symptoms that the person is suffering, and how they have changed over time. This is important as personal injury lawyers otherwise and insurer may argue that a person has made a total recovery.
