If you are feeling ill- effects from a car accident and have not been examined by a medical professional, you need to be checked out. Injuries from car accidents can linger for weeks, months, or even years. The sooner you begin treatment, the more likely you are to have a better overall medical outcome.

If your vehicle has sustained damage, you need to start gathering damage estimates from repair shops you trust.

If you are injured, you need to be checked out by a medical professional. The sooner you begin treatment, the more likely you are to have a better overall medical outcome.

Critical to medical malpractice claims are dates and medical records. Document the doctors that you saw prior to the alleged act of medical malpractice and any after the act of malpractice.  If possible, obtain a copy of these medical records.

Medical malpractice claims are unique to other personal injury claims as there are procedures that must be completed prior to filing a suit. An attorney is essential to ensuring that this procedure is followed correctly and that your claim is heard.
