Role of Medical Treatment in a Car Accident Claim

The role of medical treatment in a car accident claim is better illuminated by way of example. A lead schedule a consultation at our law firm. "John" had been in a car accident six months before the other driver was at fault. John was seeking compensation for your injuries and felt sure that the third party (the insurer of the guilty driver) treated him unfairly. Damage to property was very important and his movements were cautious and guarded, under continued pain. John confirmed that injured in car accident and was still struggling with the daily discomfort and restraint. As eloquent historian, John details the sources of their pain and the ongoing chaos in his life as a result of injuries from the collision. When asked about the details of your course of treatment, however, John revealed that he had not gone to medical service providers, traditional, homeopathic, chiropractic or otherwise. John informed us that the absence of treatment is going to have a negative effect on the valuation of the third part of your claim. John was shocked. His emphasis on the mere fact that he had not gone to the doctor, does not mean he was not in great pain and in no way diminished their discomfort and suffering.

The problems with the claim of John highlights the crucial role of medical treatment in all personal injury cases where the plaintiff seeks monetary damages for personal injuries. This article will address only the typical insurance claim injury after a car accident in which involuntary suffered no disability or permanent disfigurement.

We start with an important premise that the typical person injured often do not know or manipulated into oblivion: insurance adjusters are not your friend, the insurance adjuster does not have your best interest at heart, and the adjuster you sure made a significant effort to pay out your claim for as little as possible. Your job is not to accept the assessment of damages at face value. His work is held to investigate your complaint and redress their injuries limit, saying that injuries are completely unfounded and unrelated as possible.

That said, if you are injured in a car accident or engine is very important that you seek medical treatment. First, it is important simply because if you are in pain and suffering, a professional should assess the extent of your injuries and make sure you receive the attention and care. Depending on your current health status, the magnitude of impact the navigability of the vehicle crash, injuries can vary widely. In addition, adrenaline can mask serious injuries and pain symptoms therefore can be postponed. The pain and discomfort associated with soft tissue injuries usually is intensified in a period of forty-eight hours. Moreover, it is also important to protect your rights and seek a personal injury lawyer.

Apart from the obvious - their health and welfare - medical treatment and supervision also greatly affects the value of your personal injury claim. There are several reasons for this, unless your doctor first acts as an autonomous source of corroboration. If a person is assessed by an independent provider, that through their experience and knowledge, demonstrating the presence of damage, bruises, abrasions and wounds, insurance damage has independent evidence of the applicant. The extent and course of treatment and concomitant medical records corroborate the current injury and the need to continue treatment. The need for this treatment can be assessed, and progress toward recovery and resolution of symptoms can be traced.

Second, as an injured person making a claim for damages, the plaintiff has the duty to mitigate damages. It is known as the doctrine of avoidable consequences and forces the victim to take reasonable steps to reduce their damage. The standard, as described in C. McCormick, damage 33, 128 (1935) is that when a person has committed an intentional tort or legal wrong against another, it is for the latter to use the means that are reasonable under the circumstances to avoid or minimize damages. The injured person can not recover from any element of damage in this way could have been avoided. See Labriola against Pollard Group, Inc., 152 Wn.2d 828, 840, 100 P.3d 791 (2004) (The doctrine of avoidable consequences or mitigation of damage, prevents the injured party to recover from damages that the party could have avoided by reasonable efforts), 16 David K. DeWolf and Keller W. Allen, Washington Practice: Tort Law and Practice of 8.9, at 261 (3rd ed 2006) .. With this, John will have difficulty recovering the money for six months of pain in the absence of any treatment. Liability insurance argue that tracing around your home in pain was only reasonable, and that if he had followed some kind of medical treatment / rehabilitation / therapy, their injuries would probably have resolved in a shorter time and suffering has been minimized considerably . The claimant must also remember that a coherent, showing appointments and follow the directives of suppliers are equally important.

Third treatment, medical and cost of these services also serves as an imperfect, yet objective, quantifiable measure of damages related to your care. Imperfect because the cost of medical care can not possibly encapsulate fear, frustration, pain, discomfort, and physical experiences an aggrieved party on a daily basis. It's hard to put a monetary value on the magnitude of suffering of a person. But that is exactly the calculation of an applicant is asking an insurance adjuster to carry out. The cost of alleviating symptoms, therefore, serves as a tool to the adjuster, a measured value for the period of time that the applicant is in treatment. The cost of medical care actually received, therefore, plays a role in the final settlement offer, extended by third party insurance.
