If you have ever been injured a car accident, particularly in the metro Atlanta area, you know that you will either feel pain right away or several days later. Either way, you need to get medical treatment right away. Car accidents can cause a variety of injuries, including neck, back and shoulder injuries. During my law practice, I have known of people who have also injured their knees or banged their head on the windshield. These car accident injuries can be very serious and can lead to long term problems. When you are injured in a car accident, you need to think short and long term.
If you have been injured in a car accident, go to your primary care doctor and be examined. If you do not have a primary care doctor, go to the emergency room and get checked out. Any delays in treatment related to a car accident can cause problems if and when you file an injury claim with the other party's insurance company.
Chiropractors, Medical Doctors - who to go to? All medical providers play an important role in medical treatment after a car accident. There have increasingly been more multi-disciplinary facilities that have popped up that are more or less one stop shops where someone injured in a car accident can receive various types of treatment, including physical therapy, chiropractic and examination and treatment by a medical doctor.
