trying to perform a medical operation on yourself. It is not a
good idea and never recommended.

Medical Treatment
and Your Case.
The type and amount of
medical treatment you receive is an indication of the
seriousness of your injuries. The client who receives $500.00
worth of medical treatment will not, as a general rule, receive
the same settlement as a client with $5,000.00 in medical
treatment. Most insurance companies grade the seriousness of
injuries as minimal, slight, moderate or severe. A minimal
injury is one in which the client has $1,000.00 or less in
medical treatment to cure the injury. A slightly injured client
has over $1,000.00 to $3,000.00 in medical treatment. A client
with medical treatment expenses over $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 is
moderately injured. Medical expenses in excess of $5,000.00
shows severe injury. Use the following rules as a guide to your
medical treatment.

Follow the
Doctors Advice
You should accept the
type and amount of medical treatment the doctor recommends.
Some types of treatment may appear not to help at first.
Often the doctor may change the type of treatment for better
results. Keep in mind your doctor has been chosen for the
doctor's competence in treating your injuries. Any question
as to whether you should continue medical treatment should
be directed to the doctor.
-
Do not
Understate Your Complaints
Each time you see your
doctor tell the doctor: 1. The location of your pain; 2. The
amount of pain (slight, moderate or severe); 3. What you can
not do (disability); and, 4. What you do to relieve the
pain. Do not tell the doctor you "feel fine" if you have
pain. The doctor cannot help you if you do not tell the
doctor your complaints. Do not expect the insurance company
to pay for your pain if you say you "feel fine."
-
Do something
About your Pain
The insurance company
has a very simple rule. The rule is "If it is important
enough for you to see a doctor for your complaint, is
important enough for you to be compensated for the
complaint." In other words, the failure to treat with a
medical doctor (according to the insurance companies) means
that you must not be that hurt! If you are in pain you must appear to be trying
to get well (mitigating damages). That means going to the doctor for help. If the
doctor releases you from therapy and you are still in pain
return to the doctor. You know how you feel better than
anyone else. Return to the doctor as soon as possible if you
are still having pain. If you wait a year to return back to
the doctor, it will appear to the insurance companies that
you "must have a new injury," or you are trying to embellish
your injuries. Use your common sense, if you are hurting
from your injuries, see your doctor!
