How soon should I go see the doctor?

Immediately, even if you are only a little sore on the day of the accident. Even a small impact causes the occupants to sustain several thousand pounds of force, and most folks feel like they have been run over by a train 48 hours after the accident. If you “tough it out” and don’t go see a doctor, or go to the emergency room, you won’t have medical documentation shortly after the accident. The insurance company will likely dispute your contention that the accident caused your injuries. They do it almost every time, when it is quite obvious that this accident is the only possible cause of your injuries. It is important that you continue to see the doctor every time that you hurt so that he can document your injuries, and do the proper testing.

Actually, Joe has written three books: “A Survivor’s Legal Guide,” “The Texas Accident Bible” and “Hiring the Right Injury Lawyer.” A founding principle of The Stephens Law Firm is that anyone dealing with a personal injury or wrongful death case deserves access to high-quality legal advice. Joe has made these books available for free to the public, either via the website or by calling our office.
