Austin Personal Injury Lawyer Blog | Gonzales & Gonzales

A serious auto accident can be a very traumatic and difficult experience. It is important that you have the proper guidance following such an accident. There are specific things you can do to ensure that you recover the monetary damage that you deserve:

(1) preserve the evidence (i.e. do not allow any one to dispose of or destroy the vehicle that was involved in the accident).
(2) take as many pictures of the injured person and the damaged vehicle as possible.
(3) make sure to get to a medical doctor.
(4) tell the doctor all body parts which are injured (i.e. If you have a headache, tell the doctor. Do not assume he knows that your head hurts. It is important to see a neurologist if your headache persists as you may have a head injury).
(5) make sure get the proper physical therapy or follow-up treatment (i.e. often, clients fail to continue medical treatment and create major gaps in treatment).

One of the most important things to remember if you are seriously injured is to make sure you see the right kind of medical doctor or specialist. It is imperative that a medical provider document your injury and recovery process. Unfortunately, many clients have serious injuries but they fail to seek the proper medical treatment. At Gonzales & Gonzales, we ensure that you see the best doctors and specialists. We will even prepay for office visits if necessary. Many of the doctors in our area will accept a letter of protection from our office which will allow you to attend an office visit without having to pay at the time of the visit. Again, we want to make sure the proper documentation is being created so that you will have the strongest case.
