Obtaining Medical Treatment to Support Your Personal Injury Claim During COVID-19

Since the start of the pandemic, many medical offices and hospitals have changed their policies regarding appointments. In addition, many physicians are now requesting virtual appointments in lieu of in-office visits.

Nonetheless, it is important to your health for you to seek necessary medical treatment for your injuries. Plus, medical documentation of your injuries is an essential part of proving the value of your Personal Injury claim. The only way to tackle both of these issues is to attend medical appointments and receive the treatments, surgeries, and physical therapy you need in order to heal.

While many have concerns about catching coronavirus, medical facilities are required to follow the state guidelines and have taken the necessary precautions.  It is up to you and your doctors to decide if you can postpone any of your treatments. If you choose to do so, you may simply have to put off filing or settling your claim until the full extent of your injuries is apparent.

If your physician encourages virtual consultations in the course of your healing, you may want to do so as you can receive the medical advice you want, while maintaining your safety buffer from COVID-19.
