The short answer: as soon as possible. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s important that you get an official diagnosis to ensure your injuries are documented if you eventually decide to file a claim. Also, failure to seek immediate treatment could give the insurance company justification for arguing that you have not taken the necessary steps to mitigate your damages, which may reduce your financial recovery.
About Michael Waks
Michael Waks is an aggressive advocate for people who have suffered because of someone else’s actions. Michael decided to become a personal injury lawyer when, while clerking at a legal defense firm during law school, he witnessed and was infuriated by asbestos manufacturers spending millions to avoid taking responsibility for the egregious injuries they caused. Immediately after passing the bar, Michael opened his own firm in Long Beach, CA to help the victims of personal injury accidents get every benefit owed them under the law.
