Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Insurance Disputes

 


Q: I slipped at a department store about 4 1/2 hours ago.  I didn't fall, but I definitely pulled muscles. I don't know if I should wait until tomorrow to see if that is all it is or if I should seek medical attention tonight. Should I go to the emergency room or should I contact the department store and ask them if they have a physician I should go to?

A: The answer to that question depends on what you would do if you slipped at your own house. In other words, if you need medical care and would otherwise see a doctor, then do so. If not, then don't. Also, the emergency department is for "emergencies". If you "pulled muscles" think twice before tying up an emergency room doctor's time.
