Will You Help Me Find a Doctor After My Accident?

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, one of your biggest concerns might be getting the right medical care—especially if you don’t have a regular doctor or health insurance. Many personal injury victims ask, “Will my attorney help me find a doctor?”

The answer is yes! While we are not medical providers, we can help connect you with doctors who specialize in treating accident-related injuries. Seeking prompt and proper medical care is crucial not just for your health, but also for strengthening your personal injury claim.

Why Is It Important to See a Doctor After an Accident?

Even if you don’t feel seriously hurt right away, delayed symptoms are common after car accidents. Injuries like whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue damage may not appear until days or even weeks later.

Seeing a doctor as soon as possible is important for:
✔ Your Health – Getting a diagnosis and treatment early can prevent complications.
✔ Your Case – Medical records serve as proof of your injuries and their connection to the accident.
✔ Insurance Purposes – If you wait too long to seek treatment, the insurance company may argue that your injuries weren’t caused by the accident.

How Can an Attorney Help You Find a Doctor?

If you don’t know where to go for treatment, your attorney can help you:

1. Find a Doctor Who Specializes in Accident Injuries

Not all doctors are experienced in treating car accident victims. We can help you find specialists such as:

  • Orthopedic doctors
  • Neurologists
  • Chiropractors
  • Physical therapists
  • Pain management specialists

These doctors understand personal injury cases and can provide the medical documentation needed for your claim.

2. Get Treatment on a Medical Lien (No Upfront Costs)

If you don’t have health insurance or can’t afford out-of-pocket medical expenses, some doctors work on a medical lien. This means:

  • You don’t pay upfront for treatment.
  • The doctor agrees to wait for payment until your case settles.
  • If you recover compensation, the medical bills are paid from the settlement.

This allows you to get the care you need without financial stress while your case is ongoing.

3. Coordinate with Your Existing Doctors

If you already have a primary care physician or specialists, we can help guide them on the documentation needed for your personal injury claim.

What If the Insurance Company Tells Me I Don’t Need More Treatment?

Insurance companies often try to downplay injuries to minimize payouts. They may say you don’t need further medical care or that your injuries aren’t serious.

Do not take medical advice from an insurance company. Always follow the recommendations of your doctor, not the adjuster trying to save the insurance company money.
