If you are hurt, you must be seen by a doctor. Beyond that, there are no legal requirements.
Attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you.

My standard advice is: if you think you’re hurt, you should absolutely be seen by a doctor. I’ve had countless people tell me over the years that the full extent of their symptoms didn’t manifest for one, two, and sometimes three days after an accident. Particularly in a rear-end accident, it is not at all unusual for someone not to notice symptoms or to have problems until the following day, even sometimes two days thereafter. If you feel pain in any part of your body, if you’re not able to do things that you were able to do before the accident, you should absolutely get yourself checked out by a medical professional. My advice here is not to wait. Don’t give the insurance company a chance to say that person wasn’t hurt because they weren’t getting medical attention promptly.
Can I Go To A Baltimore Area Hospital On My Own The Next Day?
Did you Leave The Scene Of Baltimore Car Accident In Ambulance? You are not under any obligation to use Baltimore’s ambulance services. The insurance company will argue that not going means you were not seriously hurt. Here are three key reasons to go to the emergency room (ER) in an ambulance:
Life-Threatening Conditions
Not all Baltimore MVAs are life altering. Leave The Scene Of Baltimore Car Accident In Ambulance? Common sense, not legal posturing, is the guiding concept. If you or someone else is experiencing a medical emergency that could be life-threatening, calling an a Baltimore ambulance ensures prompt medical intervention en route to the ER.
Inability to Safely Transport Yourself
Not all Baltimore car accidents destroy vehicles. For some injuries or conditions like a serious car accident, broken bones, or significant trauma, an ambulance provides safe transportation with equipment and professionals to stabilize your condition.
Need for Immediate Medical Attention
I am not a Baltimore emergency room physician. I am a Baltimore personal injury lawyer. I would suggest, having said this, that conditions requiring urgent treatment (e.g., uncontrolled bleeding, or severe pain) may worsen without immediate care. Paramedics can provide critical first aid and inform the hospital ahead of your arrival.
I hope this addressed your question. Over the course of 25 years, I’ve found that fully addressing a legal question is best handled in a one-on-one, in person strategy and case analysis conference.
