Getting Medical Treatment After a Car Accident – Where, When, and Why

If you have been injured in a car accident, seek medical attention from a hospital, urgent care facility, EMT, or your own personal physician as soon as possible. Luckily, Durham is well known for its medical resources so you should not have to look far to find treatment for your injuries. Some injuries may not be obvious at first so it’s important to have a trained medical professional evaluate your condition after an accident.

Getting medical treatment helps protect your health and your rights. The insurance company may try to use any delay against you by arguing that you would have sought treatment immediately if you were really injured. Similarly, after you have been evaluated, it is crucially important to be diligent about seeking consistent, reputable follow-up medical treatment after your accident.

How Do I Know if the Insurance Company Is Being Fair?

There is no foolproof way to know if an offer from an insurance company is fair. Some insurance companies may try to encourage you to settle prematurely, before you know your full rights or understand the extent of your injuries.

Remember, for most insurance companies, their goal is to pay you as little as possible. An experienced lawyer can help you objectively assess the injuries and damages you may have suffered and weigh them against any insurance offer. And an attorney can significantly increase your odds of receiving maximum compensation.

Don’t let the insurance company take advantage of you with a “swoop and settle” offer. Our Durham auto accident attorneys routinely deal with insurance companies and are able to identify lowball offers and quick cash offers that may not be to your advantage.

How Our Experienced Durham Auto Accident Team Can Help You

If you’ve been injured in a wreck caused by someone else’s negligence, the Durham auto accident lawyers at the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin are here to fight for your rights by:

• Answering your questions and giving you peace of mind
• Dealing with the insurance company so you don’t have to
• Thoroughly searching for multiple sources of potential compensation
• Building your case and negotiating for full compensation
• Taking your case to trial if needed

Beware! North Carolina is one of a handful of states that follows the doctrine of contributory negligence. This means that if the insurance company can prove that you were even 1% responsible for your accident, it may be able to deny you compensation. But our experienced auto accident lawyers have inside knowledge of how to counter insurance company tactics and won’t back down!

We fight to get you as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Here’s just one example: We helped one Durham client obtain a $387,500 settlement when another car crossed over the center line of traffic and hit his car head on.¹
