I waited a few months to get treatment for my truck accident injuries. Will that hurt my claim?

A: Waiting for months before seeking treatment for injuries sustained in a Texas truck wreck might limit your ability to recover compensation from an insurance company. It is always advisable to visit a doctor if you have incurred injuries in an auto accident. If you have failed to seek treatment from a doctor, however, documentation of your injuries and records pertaining to the extent of the damage to your vehicle may help your claim.

One of the best forms of evidence of your injuries is the records you keep. Your own records of your injuries may help your case. More effective evidence may come from a police report about the truck accident. If a police officer included information about your injuries in the report, it may help to establish that you did sustain injuries. If you are unsure whether you can recover compensation, contact a Houston truck accident attorney.
