Oftentimes, people who are injured in a car accident don’t realize it until too late. The adrenaline from the accident can mask the pain, but it will eventually set in. If you wait too long to seek medical help, your injuries may become more severe. So if you’ve been in an accident, be sure to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Additionally, if you don’t seek medical attention right away, it can seriously affect your insurance claim. In Florida, a rule exists that if you don’t get medical attention within 14 days of your accident, you’ll lose your $10,000 PIP insurance coverage for medical care. So, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible.
