Q
Will a gap in medical treatment hurt my claim?

A
YES. Don't hurt your case by missing your doctor appointments or stop going all together. Every time you miss a treatment it hurts your case more and more.

We cannot stress enough the importance of immediate and consistent medical treatment. If you are feeling pain or discomfort, let a doctor examine you. Once you have been seen, follow the doctor's treatment plan. Communicate with the doctor so that he or she can recommend the type and length of treatment that will be necessary to help you recover from your injuries.

Remember, the insurance companies and adjusters are looking to limit the amount of money they pay out on your case. If you are injured, but not seeking immediate treatment or not going to the regularly scheduled follow-up appointments, you are helping the insurance company reduce the value of your case.
