Atlanta, GA Personal Injury Attorney Explains Why A Gap In Treatment Can Be Detrimental To Your Case

Foreign you may have seen my last message that I sent you where I referenced the Gap in treatment for your case the Gap in treatment is one of the three reasons why missing your medical appointments can ruin your case but what is a gap in treatment well that's a great question really there is no defined period of time a gap in treatment is insurance industry lingo it means that there has been a long period of time between an injury and when you go to the doctor or hospital or alternatively a long delay between one medical visit and the next so is it one day two days one month the answer comes down to the severity of the injury it is industry accepted that a person who is severely injured will not delay in seeking medical treatment the best way I can explain this principle is by giving you an example if you are claiming that you have a broken foot it is unlikely that you will wait a month to go to the doctor therefore if you're trying to be compensated for a broken foot injury and it takes you a month to go to the doctor from the time of the accident the insurance company is going to deny that claim for a gap in treatment why because it is the insurance company's position that you likely broke your foot somewhere else and not the accident or you would have gone directly to the hospital or the doctor the bottom line is this if you have been injured do not delay in getting treatment if something truly arises that you need to skip some time reach out to our team so that we can document any issues related to the Gap and be prepared to respond in your case.
