WHAT IS THE GAP IN MEDICAL TREATMENT DEFENSE FOR UTAH CAR ACCIDENTS?
WHAT IS THE GAP IN TREATMENT DEFENSE: A gap in your medical treatment regarding your Utah car accident is a gift to the defense.
Gaps in medical treatment occur when there is a pause, of time period where you are not seeking medical treatment for your injuries. The insurance defense will claim that if you were really hurt, you would have bee consistently treating. Therefore gaps in your medical treatment indicate that you were really not hurt that bad.
HOW TO DEFEAT THE GAP IN TREATMENT DEFENSE: What the defense does not take into consideration is that life gets in the way, people don’t have car because there were totaled in the Utah car collision, or that they can’t afford any more medical treatment. Further people have busy lives, children, marriages and jobs to consider that often conflict with medical treatment.
Not following your doctor’s advice is one thing, but having life get in the way is something completely different. Plus some people try to see if the current medical treatment will ‘hold.” Meaning, will the car accident medical treatment be enough, without having to continually go back and back. The car accident victim will see if they have obtained permanent results.
