A: Yes. It is important to see a doctor or to visit the emergency room if you slip or trip and fall in New York. Prompt medical care is important for several reasons.
First, some injuries are asymptomatic and difficult for an individual to detect immediately following an accident. For example, in some cases it can be difficult to know if you've suffered a traumatic brain injury without medical tests and a proper medical diagnosis. In addition, a fast diagnosis can lead to early treatment and may result in a greater chance of recovery.
Second, seeking medical care may be very important to your recovery. Not only will the other side want medical proof that you suffered an injury, but they will want to know that you suffered the injury because of the fall.
