Compensation.
If you go to the emergency room, all of the diagnostic testing performed will create a medical record of your condition immediately after the accident. Timely medical evidence prevents an insurance company from claiming that something other than the accident (such as a preexisting condition) caused the injuries.
Credibility.
Insurers will look for any reason to deny fair compensation after an injury. If you refused medical attention, the insurance company may claim that your injuries were not that serious, or you didn’t do everything possible to prevent your condition from getting worse.
