Was that due to someone else’s negligence?
If you’ve been injured in a wreck, several questions regarding your injuries will likely arise: What type of local doctor will treat me for my car accident injuries? Should I go to my primary care doctor (PCP)? Or should I see a specialist? Who will pay for my medical treatment? Why won’t my doctor see me for a car accident?
These are not simple questions to answer. While seeking medical care from your family doctor may not hurt your claim, a PCP will likely be unable to provide the diagnosis and/or treatments that you need for the types of injuries typically sustained in a car accident. Furthermore, it is likely that your PCP may not even be willing to see patients with these types of injuries at all. To make matters worse, some doctors’ offices will refuse to take health insurance payments for treatment of auto accident patients.
