I have seen a trend lately that insurance companies and a juries have been taking with
personal injury claimants and it is a troubling trend and that is they have really been sticking
it to folks who do not receive medical attention the day of the accident or within a couple
days of the accident Hi I am guy DiMartino I am an injury accident lawyer and today I'd
like to explain the reasons why will the first reason is that when it do away with that reason
very quickly and that is you might have an underlying medical condition that you really
don't know you could ever fracture their you could have something that's going on this
very severe so for your health is very important to get checked out just to make sure you do
not have a severe severe injury the second reason is insurance companies many insurance
companies use claims of evaluation software and one of the major data points is whether
the person went to the emergency room an urgent care center or saw a doctor within 24 to 72
hours after 72 hours the insurance company software really dings the claimant and really
puts that as a negative they usually take the position hey if you were injured you would've
gone to the Dr. in the third reason has to do with juries and insurance defense attorneys
jurors have a tendency to be very critical of folks who are bringing personal injury
claims so in the jurors mind and with the insurance defense attorney arguing this to
them they will ding the plaintiff this is how it goes ladies and gentlemen of the jury
don't you think that of Madam plaintiff was really injured or severely injured that she
would've gone to the Dr. that day gone to the emergency room to get checked out okay
let's give her the benefit of the doubt she wakes up the next morning she's very sore
is she to go to the emergency room that day or an urgent care center or maybe she's going
to call her doctor and she'll get in the next day ladies and gentlemen three days is the
cutoff if you've been injured in an accident any kind of accident you need to get medical
treatment within three days of the injury I am guy DiMartino I'm injury and accident
