It is critical that after any injury in a car accident, you consult your general practitioner as soon as possible and ensure they record all the injuries, pain and symptoms you’re experiencing, no matter how minor. Make sure your GP records all injuries, niggles, aches and pains in all areas of your body you may have sustained because of the car accident. These can be also recorded in your physiotherapist’s notes, in hospital records, or in the records of any other medical professional you consult in regard to the treatment of your injuries. To confirm the injuries you claim to have sustained, the insurance company or court will review all the medical records associated with your injuries and treatment. If those records don’t list all the locations of your pain, this may limit your claim for car accident compensation. Find out more here.
