We often have clients who are injured in accidents ask us whether they should follow their doctors’ recommendations as to the course of treatment, or cut that treatment short so that they can be compensated by the at-fault party’s insurance company. Of course, many insurance companies will not settle a personal injury claim until you are done treating for the injuries you suffered in the accident. This can often delay a settlement and cause a hardship for clients who are short of cash and who may not be working because of their injuries.
We always tell our clients the same thing: FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS’ RECOMMENDATIONS! First and foremost, cutting treatment short can have a devastating impact on your future health and well-being. Second, if you cut treatment short, you often will not get the full value of your claim. Our priority at the Brown Law Office is to ensure you are fully compensated under the law. The best way to ensure that is to follow the recommendations of your doctor and complete treatment, even if that means the settlement will be delayed. Contact the Brown Law Office today at 330-601-0101 to discuss your personal injury claim.
