It is important that Chicago intersection accident victims seek medical treatment, if needed. They should do this as soon as practicable.  They can go to an emergency room, urgent care or a primary care physician.
Further, signs and symptoms of a more serious injury might not show up immediately after an accident. It may be masked by adrenaline. Therefore, if you are having pain it is best to seek a medical examination shortly after an accident.
When car accident victims delay their medical treatment, it could negatively affect personal injury claims. In the minds of insurance adjusters, failing to seek same-day or next day medical treatment demonstrates that the accident victim does not have serious injuries.  Or, they may speculate whether the victim has injuries at all.
In addition to seeking initial medical care, it is important for Chicago car accident victims to:
Treat conservatively for all injuries
Follow through with their health care providers’ treatment recommendations
Be clear, concise, and accurate about symptoms in response to a healthcare provider’s questions
Accident victims should attend all necessary medical appointments, to arrive on time for those appointments, and to stay for the entire time. If an insurance adjuster notices you missing appointments or long gaps in treatment, they could use this information to downplay the significance of your injuries.
