Do You Have to See a Doctor to Receive Payment After a Car Accident in Atlanta?

Riah Greathouse, Esq.Riah Greathouse, Esq. · September 1, 2021

So you may be asking yourself, I was involved in a wreck, can I get paid if I don’t go to the doctor? Well, the short answer is no, you can’t, it’s personal injury which means that you were physically injured by a motor vehicle collision. Go to the doctor so that you can receive the proper treatment and the documentation to show that you were in fact injured. You get paid because you’re hurt, not because you were hit. Simply put, if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid. I’m Riah Greathouse from Greathouse Trial Law. Contact us to discuss your case.
