Failing to see a doc tor immediately.
Some of us feel the pain after we have been in an accident, but instead of seeing a doctor we self-medicate, until it does not work. A few weeks go by and then we decide “This pain in my lower back is only getting worse. I might need to see a doctor after all.” There is an unofficial 72 hour window to see a doctor after you have been in an accident. Let your doctor examine you and treat you if necessary. A delay in treatment may significantly reduce your settlement amount from the insurance company.
