WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD I GIVE TO MY DOCTORS?
You should tell them everything. Do not hold back. Do not omit any injury or complaint you have after an accident, no matter how small. This does two things:
- It makes a record of the time and the extent of your injury, and
- Your doctor needs this information to make an informed diagnosis.
Light headache, dry mouth, ringing in your ears, a little dizziness, boo-boo on your elbow, all of this may be evidence of something more serious. Anything that is related to the accident should be reported, and you should ensure that the doctor notes that it was caused by the accident. If the defense can argue that the injury was caused by anything other than the accident, they will. The lawyers at The Guthrie Firm, can do many things, but we cannot interfere with your relationship with your doctor, so it is important that you report all aches, pains, and injuries to your doctor as soon as possible after your accident.
