What are common car accident medical procedures?
Different car accident injuries require a wide range of medical procedures. Some of the most common procedures may include:
- Diagnostic medical testing to determine exactly what type of injury you sustained in your car accident. This could include:
- X-Rays
- MRI scans
- Prescribing medications for severe pain caused by your injury
- Referring you to a specialist for additional medical tests
- Setting a broken bone (often an arm or leg) in a cast
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic treatment
- Follow-up doctor’s appointments
Make sure you get the medical attention you need after your accident. The sooner you have a doctor examine you, the sooner you can start receiving the medical care deserve for your injury.
Who pays for my medical care after my car crash?
In most cases, the insurance company for the at-fault driver is responsible for compensating you for all your medical expenses. In addition, the at-fault driver’s insurance company should pay for any additional accident-related expenses. This can include:
- Future medical care
- Car repair or replacement costs
- Replacement income during your recovery period
- Lost future income, if you cannot return to work
- Pain and suffering, in certain circumstances
All these expanses can quickly add up to thousands or millions of dollars. Insurance companies know this. That’s why they often make lowball settlement offers soon after an accident – or do everything they can to deny your claim. That’s not right. That’s why you need an attorney on your side, fighting for you.
