  1. Why You Should Always Seek Medical Attention After An Accident?

  2. We have all been taught from our childhood: always get medical help if you were in an accident, whether it is a car accident, truck accident, slip and fall, or any other accident. But the importance of seeking medical attention after an accident is so underestimated by residents of Pembroke Pines and all across Florida that it often hurts their personal injury claim.

  3. Why People Refuse to Seek Medical Attention ? These are the three most common reasons why people who have been in an accident refuse to seek medical attention right away: 1. They think that they have not been injured (however, high levels of stress and adrenaline can mask pain and injury) They think that their injuries are too minor (no injury can be called “minor” unless your doctor says so; do not make assumptions on your own, let a medical professional diagnose you) They think it is OK to get medical help later (while you obviously can do that, it can significantly reduce your chances of recovering damages for the accident). 2. 3.

  4. Why You Should Seek Medical Attention Right Away Law Offices of Bradley Hartman outlines three compelling reasons why you should always get medical care and treatment after an accident: ● Florida requires you to visit a doctor within 14 days after an accident in order to be eligible to file a personal injury claim and seek compensation as a result ● Many injuries do not manifest themselves right away, but once they do, it may be too late to pursue compensation (if 14 days have passed) for the medical bills and other damages such as diminished earning capacity and lost wages ● Not getting medical help right away will make it look as if you were not hurt badly enough in an accident in the eyes of the at-fault party, insurance companies, juries and judges if you choose to pursue a personal injury lawsuit.

  5. Signs That You Have Been Injured After an Accident ● Back pain ● Headaches ● Insomnia ● Swelling or bruising ● Pain or stiffness in neck or shoulders ● Numbness or tingling in extremities ● Diminished brain activity and memory issues
