Insurance companies often require that you seek treatment for your injuries soon after an accident in order to collect full-on medical coverage and lost earnings benefits.

Any injury, no matter how seemingly small, should be thoroughly assessed by a medical professional.

Lack of prompt medical attention and consistently adhering to your doctor’s treatment plan, may lead an insurance company to presume your injuries are minor.

They may also argue that you harmed yourself while performing other activities after an accident, such as clearing out the garage or while at the gym.  This is why it’s critical to get looked at early on.
