After an accident it is very important to document and get treatment for any injuries you may have sustained. The longer you wait to go to a doctor the harder it is to prove your case. Under New York State Personal Injury Law you must have a serious injury injury in order to recover money. The doctor that you go to should have experience in handling these types of cases. Contact The Fastman Law Group P.C. if you need help finding a doctor to treat you. When you visit with a doctor for the first time it is very important to tell him or her the following:

• Immediate Complaints Are Crucial: Clearly and thoroughly inform your doctor of all injuries and areas of discomfort at your first visit. Missing details about symptoms may harm your credibility later.
• Full Disclosure Is Essential: Inform your doctor honestly if you've previously injured a body part involved in the current accident. Withholding this information can severely compromise your claim.
• Express Your Concerns Clearly: Be open about your expectations and fears regarding treatments or therapies. Your comfort is vital.
• Consult The Fastman Law Group for Doctor Referrals: We can recommend experienced professionals familiar with personal injury cases, enhancing your treatment effectiveness and legal claim strength.
• Avoid Signing Documents Prematurely: Do not sign anything from an insurance company or other party without consulting The Fastman Law Group first.
• Obtain Official Reports: Secure a copy of the police report and any other documentation related to the accident.

Your health comes first—never compromise treatment, and always maintain open communication with your healthcare provider and legal team.
