How can I help my recovery from my injuries?
First, let your doctor know about all the injuries and discomfort you have because of the collision.
Second, tell your doctor about any similar pain, discomfort or problems you have had in the past, even if you had a full recovery. The information you give your doctor will allow your doctor to better understand your injury and to establish the best treatment plan for you.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that informing your doctor of prior injuries or treatment might hurt your claim. The opposite is true: telling your doctor everything will actually help your claim. Honesty and candor are critical to a full recovery and a successful claim.
Third, make sure to follow your doctor’s advice, including instructions on home care. Keep your appointments.
Your goal is to restore your health. When you put your health first, you will also be helping your claim.
