Why a Chiropractor is Important to Your Personal Injury Case

Written by Diana Alkire | Jun 27, 2018 5:13:32 PM

 

So you’ve been in a car accident and now you’re deciding whether or not to pursue a personal injury claim.

 

The benefits of filing a claim can range anywhere from getting medical treatments covered to being reimbursed for time lost at work.

 

But to file a personal injury claim, you need to provide proof that you were injured. And to do that, you need  detailed records of doctor visits, treatments, and any medical bills that were incurred due to the injury.

How Chiropractors can help your case

 

It's imperative that you see a chiropractor immediately after an accident.

 

First of all, they can help with injuries to the back and neck by determining the extent of any injuries, assessing their potential long-term impacts, and providing a course of treatment or therapy. 

 

Injuries typically associated with car accidents include:

    • Whiplash
    • Lower-back Strains and/or Sprains
    • Herniated Discs
    • Spinal Cord Damage
    • Concussions
    • Leg and Knees Injuries

 

If injuries are left untreated, not only can you run the risk of having the statute of limitations for filing a claim expire, but - and more importantly - you also run the risk of developing a chronic condition which may not be covered by your insurance.

 

Why seek medical attention on a lien basis?

 

We know that it can be hard to seek proper medical attention or take time off from work due to an accident but it's important to get the care you need right away and to get a professional assessment of your condition. And when you work with a chiropractor on a lien basis, you don’t have to pay until your case gets settled. The professionals in the doctor’s office will be able to keep track of your medical records with important details such as why treatments were necessary and the costs and results of any treatments, which only further strengthens your case.
