Is There a Time-Limit I Have to Seek Medical Treatment After My Car Accident?

Christopher Earley | | Car Accident Claims

No, you can get treatment (chiropractor, physical therapy, hospital) whenever you want to following an auto accident in Massachusetts. But, it is wise to get treatment as soon as the pain, soreness and tightness (common symptoms of sprains and strains) begins. The main reason you should not wait is your body needs medical attention as soon as possible following the physical trauma of a car accident. The other reason it is important not to delay treatment is the insurance adjuster is going to claim that since you waited to receive treatment, you really could not have been injured in the accident.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
