Who should I see for medical help after a truck accident in Kansas?

Should I go to a minor emergency care center after a tractor-trailer accident?

After a bad tractor-trailer accident, you should never go to a minor emergency center or chiropractor to save money. Your PIP insurance in your car will pay for initial medical bills up to the level of your coverage. Insurance companies tend to pay very small settlements to injured people that get only minor care at the start of their case.

How can I get a good doctor for my injuries after my car wreck with a semi?

Finding a good doctor for your injuries after a semi-truck wreck with a car can be difficult, especially if you have Medicaid.

Experienced truck accident lawyers like us can find you the best quality doctors who will wait to be paid.

When should you see a doctor after a wreck with an 18-wheeler?

After a wreck with an 18-wheeler it is important to see real doctors immediately following the accident. A simple reason tells us why. Most insurance companies for car and truck accidents use a computerized medical bill review system (MBRS). These computer programs look for gaps in time from the accident to the first treatment to defend the case.

Gaps in medical treatment can kill a truck accident case quickly because:

• Injured people who do not go to the hospital the same day as the accident get significant negative points to their case in the computer scoring system.
• Gaps between the first hospital visit and the next time you see a doctor for treatment are critical and the longer the gap the worse your case becomes.
• Gaps following a period of physical therapy followed by what some doctors call watchful waiting create huge gaps that the computer scores negatively and can destroy your injury claim.
• Insurance companies assign negative points to each gap. For example, if you don’t get medical treatment the first day you get 25 points. Then 25 points for each day after that before you go to a hospital. Companies like Allstate simply say the case is fake when you hit 100 points and refuse to pay. Then a lawsuit must be filed.
