Injured in a Car Accident? Get Urgent Medical Care Without the High Legal Fees

If you've been in a wreck, your first instinct might be to call a lawyer or worry about paying for a doctor. 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, 2024), motor vehicle crashes cause an estimated 2.42 million injuries each year. Many people delay seeking care because they think they need a personal injury attorney to navigate the medical bills, but waiting can seriously harm your health and your recovery.

We offer a better option at Injury and Health Urgent Care in San Antonio, Texas. Our dedicated providers, Shannon Wait, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, and Melissa Marie Kempf, MD, are here to help you get immediate medical attention without the stress of high legal fees. 

Why should you seek urgent medical care immediately after a car accident?

You should seek medical care immediately because your body's natural survival mechanisms can hide serious injuries right after a crash. During a collision, your body releases a flood of adrenaline and endorphins that temporarily block pain signals, as explained by the National Institutes of Health (NIH, 2024). 

This means you might feel completely fine even if you have underlying tissue damage, whiplash, or head injuries. By visiting our clinic for a comprehensive evaluation, we can use advanced tools like digital X-rays to catch hidden issues before they turn into chronic pain.

Getting evaluated right away also creates an official medical record of your car accident injuries, which is crucial for any insurance claims you may need to file later.

How can you pay for accident care without hiring a lawyer?

You can pay for your medical treatment using the first-party coverage already built into your auto insurance policy, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments (MedPay).

According to the State of Texas Office of Public Insurance Counsel (2023), these "no-fault" coverages are designed to pay for direct medical costs, including ambulance rides, diagnostic testing, and rehabilitation, up to your policy limits. 

Using these benefits means you don't have to wait for a lengthy legal settlement or pay high out-of-pocket fees to get treated. Our team is highly experienced in handling personal injury claims and can help you navigate this paperwork. You don't need a lawyer's permission or a medical lien to start healing; you just need to focus on your recovery.
