What to do if You are Injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident or At Work
Treating Guidelines for Car Accident (PIP) or Work Injury (LNI) at Unlocking The Body:
- See a Doctor as soon as possible! Get checked out by a Doctor or Chiropractor to make sure that you are not injured. Just because you are not in immediate pain doesn't mean you aren't injured, soft tissue injuries can take a few days/weeks to present themselves fully.
- If you are injured it is in your best interest to call an attorney and become informed about the claims process and file a claim if you haven't already. (See Below)
- Follow any prescribed treatment plans exactly as recommended. If your care is not progressive, or if you miss appointments then your insurance company may conclude your have reached Maximum Medical Improvement because of your lack of follow through.
