Many individuals believe that they aren’t really injured immediately following an accident, so they don’t seek medical attention right away. Unfortunately, the symptoms of some medical conditions or injuries do not appear until hours or even days following an accident. Therefore, if you are involved in some type of accident, you should immediately seek medical attention, even if you don’t think that you have been injured. In addition to ensuring your good health, seeing a doctor following an accident is also likely to help you with any legal claim that you may have arising from the accident.
Car accidents can result in a number of different types of injuries, some of which have lasting effects, and others that do not. Whiplash is a common injury that impacts your neck, spine, and back. Broken bones, sprains, and strains to ligaments and muscles all can occur from being involved in a car accident. Back trauma can result in injuries to discs and vertebrae. The impact of a car crash can not only shake the body, but it can shake an individual’s brain inside his or her skull. This can result in a concussion, which can cause nausea, headaches, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, and difficulties thinking in general.
The bottom line is that even if you think your injuries are minor, or that you don’t have any injuries at all, you still need to see your doctor. Establishing a record of medical treatment can be helpful to your personal injury claim if an injury surfaces later or you find that you have an unexpected health condition that resulted from your accident. If you don’t get medical attention at the outset, you may actually hurt any claim for damages that you have in the event that you did sustain an injury.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
