Mistake #3: Not seeing a doctor immediately after the accident
Many people would go home after being involved in the accident because they do not feel that they were hurt badly and did not need to go to a hospital. While this is a typical reaction to an accident, you may have damages that you are unaware of or injuries that will feel much worse later.
You may also be making your lawyer’s job harder by not seen a doctor immediately. Your lawyer will need to show that any injuries you have are directly related to the accident. The closer in time that you are evaluated and diagnosed with your injuries, the easier it will be to prove that they are the result of the accident.
