How to Find a Good Doctor After a St. Louis Auto Accident

June 1, 2020 by Christopher

If you’re involved in a car accident and need treatment, you, unfortunately, can’t always go to your family doctor, especially if you’re the victim and plan to file a car accident claim against the other driver.

One clear reason is medical in nature: your family doctor simply might not be able to give you the best care if they have little to no experience with car accident cases and their potential injuries. However, the other reason has to do with the intricate world of insurance companies.

Why You May Need a No-Fault Doctor

A no-fault doctor specializes in treating auto accident victims, which is perfect for you, as this way you are getting treated by someone who fully understands what a car accident can do to a person.

If you also want to file a car accident claim, you will need a rather detailed history of all your medical treatments and procedures you’ve received during your auto injury treatment. A no-fault doctor is aware of this, and as a result can help you document all your medical treatments so that you do not have to piece them all together later on, which can help speed up the process.

Additionally, the no-fault doctor will also know what’s needed to prove your claim from a medical point of view, so they may run the right tests and even refer you to the specialists you need.

How to Find a No-Fault Doctor

Ideally, you’ll want to turn to a practice with doctors with experience in car accident injuries, and one who encompasses different specialties, as you may require several types of treatments or procedures.

One way to find a good no-fault doctor is to ask your St. Louis car injury lawyer. Through their own experience, they can recommend a good doctor that can provide proper medical care and who can help you in your car accident claim.

If you have not yet spoken with an attorney, or need to find a doctor fast, there are some other options available:

  • Asking friends and families, especially those who’ve filed car accident / personal injury claims in the past
  • Speaking to your family doctor and asking for a recommendation
  • Using the internet, especially forums where people tell their experience visiting a particular no-fault doctor. These practices may have very fancy websites, but you’re really interested in what people think of them, so it’s a good idea to also search for people’s experiences with these doctors as well.

Speak With an Attorney ASAP

Your car accident settlement is typically decided through negotiating, which is why your case will greatly benefit from the experience of a qualified attorney. If you need to file a claim, reach out to a St. Louis car accident lawyer right away. They may also help you find a good no-fault doctor to take care of your injuries.
