There is no legal requirement as to when to go to a doctor, but the bigger the gap in time between when you were in the accident and going to a doctor, ER, chiroprator etc. the more the defense attorney and insurance company can argue that you were not injured in the accident and/or you are exaggerating your symptoms for a lawsuit, especially when you are claiming serious injuries. IMO you should go as soon as possible. (Although a response is provided to the specific question, there may be other facts and law relevant to the issue. The questioner should not base any decision o the answer and specifically understands and agrees that no client-lawyer relationship has been established between Bradley A. Coxe or Hodges & Coxe PC and the inquirer).
