If I only went to the ER after my car accident can I still pursue a claim?

Is it worth pursuing a claim with minimal treatment? Sept. 20, 2024

One of the most important concerns after a car accident is making sure you get proper treatment for your injuries. Often, you may not know how bad you are hurt immediately following an accident and the pain first becomes more severe in the days after the car collision.

For the sake of your health and future, a trip to the ER to get examined is an important first step. ER trips can be very expensive! If you have health insurance that will cover your visit that is a consideration. The fact that a trip to the ER can result in significant bills (depending often on the number of diagnostic tests performed like x-rays, CT Scans, MRI's) is also a reason your car accident claim may be worth pursuing.

If you are fortunate enough to not need further medical care outside the ER, you may have still a claim worth thousands of dollars. While a corresponding award for pain and suffering may be more limited owing to minimal treatment, if the ER bills are significant you may still have meaningful compensation for your injury. For example, Attorney David Roth just settled a case with ER only treatment. The case settled for over $17,000 dollars!
