Firstly, we ask you if you are O.K. It is common knowledge that after you have been involved in a car wreck, you might feel alright. Even so, you might feel like you are not injured at all. However, often times, an injury occurring to your muscles and tissue do not produce symptoms until days after the car wreck. It takes that long for your muscles to tighten up or spasm enough before you start feeling pain.

So, even if you felt fine after the car wreck and you begin suffering pain a few days later, you should go to your doctor’s office. This way, your doctor can check you out and treat your pain. Your pain will most likely NOT go away on its own. Get treatment from a medical provider to help alleviate your pain and return you to your normal state of health.

A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER CAN HELP

If you have been in a Greenville SC car wreck, call a personal injury lawyer so that they can provide you with legal representation. A car wreck is not a simple event. It is a complex event that if handled incorrectly by you, it can cause you long term negative financial and physical consequences. An experienced lawyer can bring the know-how, diligence, and aggressiveness to your case. Additionally, a lawyer facilitates your case to be resolved fairly and quickly, while protecting your financial, legal, and health future. You should hire a car accident lawyer who will bring a no-nonsense, aggressive approach to the representation of you. A car wreck is a serious matter. Therefore, you need a lawyer who takes you seriously, is energetic, responsive to you as well as someone who you can trust.

YOUR LAWYER IS REQUIRED TO ACT IN YOUR BEST SELF INTEREST

If you are contacted by the other driver’s insurance, you should generally not give a statement to them. Please understand that in the state of South Carolina, you are under no legal obligation to give a statement to the insurance company of the other driver. You should hire your own lawyer before you decide whether it would be in your best interest to speak with the other driver’s insurance company. What you say to the other driver’s insurance company may come back to haunt you. So you do not want to give a statement to the other driver’s insurance carrier unless you have retained legal counsel who can advise you accordingly.

WHICH INSURANCE PAYS YOUR MEDICAL BILLS?

To begin with, if you are transported to the hospital Emergency Room or if you go to your doctor or an urgent care facility, present your health insurance card and let your health insurance pay the bills. That is why you pay your health insurance premium. If you are injured or get hurt in a car accident, and you have health insurance, then submit your health insurance card to the hospital or your doctor’s office. The medical facility or medical providers will then submit their bills to your health insurance.

Later on, when your case is presented to the other driver’s automobile insurance for settlement, your lawyer will normally ask that automobile insurance carrier to compensate you for the medical bills related to your treatment. After you are compensated by the automobile insurance carrier, your lawyer will then usually reimburse your health insurance carrier out of the settlement funds for the amounts it paid for your treatment. Normally, the other driver’s automobile insurance will not directly pay the hospital, your doctor, or any other medical provider for the medical treatment you received as a result of the injuries you sustained in the automobile accident.
