Personal Injury Cases. Those three words
are enough to scare
many doctors away from treating you. One of the most common examples of
a personal injury case is a car accident.
Most Medical Doctors will flat out refuse to treat you for your injuries
from a car accident. WHY? Well, number one, many doctors are terrified
of the possibility that they may have to testify in Court. Of course,
there are many reasons they may be so scared of having to testify in
Court. Many will say that it would mean they would lose time from their
practice, but is it possible that many are afraid they would be not able
to do a good job as an expert witness ? That certainly is possible,
because many MDs don't have a great amount of technical knowledge about
the dynamics of motor vehicle accidents, about the way in which changes
to the alignment and function of the spine after an accident can not
only cause serious pain for the victim, but can also possibly result in
the development of osteoarthritis (what many MDs call "spondylosis").
Another reason is that for most motor vehicle accident cases, the doctor
is not paid up front, or even on a per visit, real time basis, but
usually has to wait for their payment until the case is settled. Of
course, with many cases, this can take a long time, and in some cases,
the attorney may drop the case, or there may not even be a settlement
large enough to pay all the medical bills.
At BAKER CHIROPRACTIC, PA we don't turn patients away because they have
been injured as a result of a car accident.
We know that almost anyone can get involved in an auto accident, on
almost any given day, and it makes no sense to
say you will treat someone who fell at home, injured through no fault of
their own, but refuse to treat someone who was pinned inside their car
because another car broadsided them.
We accept LOP (Letters of Protection) from attorneys representing
injured motor vehicle accident (MVA) victims, and we work with many
attorneys in the East Texas and North Texas area, as well as attorneys
from Florida to California.
And, attorneys who refer patients to us, seem to be pretty satisfied
with our treatment of their clients, and our willingness to work with
them to make sure their clients get the best treatment we can offer.
So if YOU were hurt in a car wreck, and need treatment, and find that
your own "family doctor" turns you away simply because you were hurt in
a motor vehicle accident, don't waste time wondering what to do.
