Car Accident Claim Tip #9: See your Doctor

Hi there, I'm Nova Scotia car accident lawyer, John McKiggan and this is tip #9 in our list of top 10 tips to protect your rights during your car accident claim. Tip #9: see your doctor. You should return to see your doctor on a regular basis. Make sure you tell your doctor about your complaints and symptoms. As a general rule, you should see your family doctor at least once a month. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to receive will depend almost entirely on the quality of the medical information you have to document the nature and extent of your injuries.

Don't try to minimize your symptoms when you see your doctor. Having detailed information about your symptoms is the best way for your doctor to figure out how to treat you. Remember, when your doctor asks you to explain what your symptoms are, don't just say for example, "I've got a sore back." Explain to your doctor what your symptoms are and how they affect your daily activities. If you have a sore back, you may want to tell your doctor for example, you can't unload your dishwasher or you can't bend over and pick up your children, or if your back pain prevents you from mowing the lawn or sitting at your desk to work. In other words, explain to your doctor how your injuries impact on your day to day activities and your ability to perform your duties at work.
