Obviously, the most important thing to do if you have suffered a work injury or been hurt in an auto accident is to seek out appropriate medical treatment for your injuries. Whether you are seen in a hospital’s emergency department, by your primary care physician or an urgent- or express-care-type facility, make sure that you take your time in relating your injuries, going from head to toe and describing each and every symptom you have, no matter how minor. Many times, given the forces involved with motor vehicle accidents and work injuries, neck, low back and other spine issues are not apparent right away or get worse over time. Therefore, if you experience any type of symptom following an accident at work or a car crash that was not present prior to the traumatic event, as soon as practicable, get in to see a medical professional. When you see the healthcare provider, make sure not only to detail what symptoms you are experiencing, but also specifically describe the traumatic event—i.e., accident, trauma, lifting/bending incident, repetitive use of body part, etc.—that spawned your symptoms and need for medical treatment. By doing so, you will make it much harder for the insurance company to reasonably claim that the accident/incident is not responsible for the issues you are experiencing.
