If you have been injured in a car accident, yet you failed to seek medical attention afterwards, you are probably wondering how that is going to affect your claim. As the victim of a car accident caused by another person's negligence, carelessness or reckless abandon, you may be eligible to seek damages to cover past and future medical costs, vehicle repairs, loss of income or earning capacity, emotional distress, pain and suffering, as well as a number of other accident-related expenses. Failing to seek medical attention after a car accident will significantly reduce your chances of being able to prove the injuries you sustained were caused in the accident.

If you are unable to prove this fact, you will not be able to seek compensation from the liable party and his or her insurance company. In this type of situation, the liable party will likely argue that if your injuries were in fact caused in the car accident then you would have had to get medical attention right away. Neglecting to see a doctor after your car accident could result in you receiving a lower settlement than you rightfully deserve or you may end up having to pay for your own medical costs out of pocket.
