Will I need a medical exam after a car accident?

Why You Should Seek Medical Attention Following A Car Accident

Seeking medical help after an accident can help you in two ways:

1. It can help you get treatment for your injuries and recover faster. A car accident can cause serious injuries that require medical intervention, such as fractures, head injuries, whiplash, or psychological trauma. You may not realise the extent of your injuries until you see a doctor. A doctor can examine you and provide treatment for any injuries you may have sustained. They can also prescribe medication, refer you to specialists, or recommend physiotherapy or counselling.

2. It can help you prove your claim and get the compensation you deserve. A medical exam can provide vital evidence of your injuries and how they have affected your life. A doctor can document your injuries and give an opinion on how long it will take for them to heal. This can help you show the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your work, hobbies, and daily activities. A medical exam can also help you counter any arguments from the insurance company that may challenge your claim or offer you a low settlement.

What Happens At A Medical Assessment For A Claim?

If you have been involved in a car accident and are making a claim for compensation, you may be asked to attend a medical exam. This exam is usually arranged by the insurance company or your solicitor and is carried out by an independent medical expert.

The purpose of the exam is to assess your injuries and determine the extent of your damages. The medical expert will examine you and ask you questions about your injuries, your medical history, and how the accident has affected your life. They may also ask you to perform certain physical tests or movements to assess your range of motion and any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing.

The medical expert will then prepare a report detailing their findings. This report will be used as evidence in your claim for compensation. It will provide an objective assessment of your injuries and how they have affected your life. It will also provide an opinion on how long it will take for your injuries to heal and whether you will require any ongoing treatment or rehabilitation.
