Seeing A Doctor When You Don’t Feel Injured

Answer:

Occasionally, when someone’s been hurt in an automobile accident case, they ask, “Should I go get medical treatment?” That answer is, categorically, yes. You should always, even if you think you may not be hurt, go get medical care, for two reasons. The first reason obviously is you may have suffered an injury and may not be aware of it. Let’s get checked out to rule it in or rule it out. Secondly, in Florida, you have 14 days to seek medical attention and have your own insurance, your no fault or PIP insurance to pay for it. If you don’t, they do not have to pay. You might be on the hook for those medical bills yourself. Go seek medical care immediately, even if you think you’re not hurt badly or even if you think maybe you’re not hurt at all. If you have such a case, don’t hesitate to call us if you’ve been hurt in Nassau County, Duval County, the other counties in northeast Florida or southeast Georgia.
