Episode 6: What To Do If You're In A Car Wreck

SUMMARY: In this podcast episode, Dr. Duncan and personal injury attorney, Will Maxey, discuss what to do if you ever find yourself in a car accident. They cover topics such as the importance of liability in car accidents, steps to take after a car accident, seeking medical treatment after a car accident, and how to pay for your medical bills from treatment. TAKEAWAYS: Car accidents are one of the primary causes of personal injury cases. Establishing liability is important in car accidents as it determines who is responsible for the damages and payment for treatment. After a motor vehicle collision, it is important to report the accident to your insurance company, seek medical treatment immediately, and document the accident scene. Adding extra protection to your car insurance policy, such as underinsured motorist coverage, can be beneficial. Seeking immediate medical treatment after a car accident is crucial for your case as it shows you are doing everything you can to get better. Be aware that not seeking immediate medical care or not following prescribed treatments may have negative impacts on your personal injury case. Explore different options for paying medical bills, such as health insurance, personal injury protection, or providers who are willing to treat on a lien. Hiring an attorney to handle a personal injury claim is recommended as they can provide guidance on the best way to handle the situation and increase the value of the claim. Chiropractic care is an effective treatment option for soft tissue injuries resulting from car accidents. After completing treatment with your chiropractor, the next steps in a personal injury case involve gathering medical records and bills, which can take some time. LET’S GET SOCIAL!
