They would also, certainly, be keeping all of their doctor’s appointments. This failure to treat moves the case into a defensive posture of comparative fault. If the injury is exacerbated by not visiting a doctor or by not following a doctor’s recommendations and as a result, an injured person suffers a greater degree of pain and suffering, they can’t expect to be paid for that.
