Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
After an accident, How long do I have to go to the doctor?
I had an accident in February, I went to the chiropractor due to pain in March. The insurance is now telling me I took too long & they will not reimburse me. The accident was not my fault!

Re: After an accident, How long do I have to go to the doctor?
The insurance company will probably eventually have to pay. It is only obligated to pay any damages for which its insured is found to be liable. As a practical matter, they evaluate cases and go ahead and try to settle IF they figure they will have to anyway. In this case, they may feel that your injuries must not have been too serious since you waited to go to the doctor. However, as long as you file suit within two years, there is no legal time within which you have to first go to the doctor. Contact a local attorney.
