What to Do If I Need Medical Care After a Car Accident in Albuquerque?

After a crash, your health should always be the top priority. Even if emergency responders evaluate you at the scene, it is important to seek follow-up medical care as soon as possible. Some injuries, including soft tissue damage, internal bleeding, or head trauma, may not present symptoms immediately.

If paramedics recommend transportation to a hospital, it is generally wise to follow that advice. Emergency room physicians can conduct imaging tests and provide documentation that links your injuries to the crash, an important step for both recovery and any potential insurance claims.

You should also schedule follow-up appointments with your primary care provider or a specialist if symptoms persist. Keep copies of all medical records, discharge instructions, prescriptions, and bills. These documents can help demonstrate the full extent of your injuries and related expenses.

In addition, monitor your symptoms closely in the days following the accident. Increased pain, dizziness, numbness, headaches, or limited mobility should be taken seriously and evaluated promptly. Follow all treatment recommendations, attend physical therapy if prescribed, and avoid skipping appointments. Gaps in medical care can not only delay recovery but may also complicate insurance claims. Maintaining a written journal describing your pain levels, physical limitations, and how the injury affects your daily activities can also be helpful documentation.
