But no matter how you’re feeling in the moment, the worst thing you can do is delay seeing a doctor. If you wait a week or more before seeking treatment, the insurance company may argue that your injury wasn\u2019t serious at all\u2014simply because you didn\u2019t act like it was.Wolff gives a powerful analogy in the video: imagine walking around with a stone in your shoe. At first, it\u2019s manageable. But over time, it gets worse\u2014until it becomes unbearable. That\u2019s exactly how some injuries work. What starts as mild discomfort can evolve into chronic pain, nerve issues, or mobility limitations. And if you don\u2019t have a medical record documenting that progression from the beginning, it becomes much harder to prove your case.That\u2019s where our team comes in. At Kanner, Wolff, Nicastro & Hall, we know how to build your case the right way\u2014starting with immediate medical attention and ending with the justice and compensation you deserve. Even if it\u2019s been a few days or weeks since your fall, it\u2019s not too late\u2014but don\u2019t wait any longer.Call us now at 716-848-8000 or visit BuffaloLaw.com. Our consultations are always free, and we don\u2019t charge a dime unless we win your case. Whether your pain started small or hit you all at once, you deserve answers, action, and results. We win. It\u2019s just that simple."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"How long do I have to wait to see if my slip and fall injury is serious?","item":"https:\/\/www.buffalolaw.com\/how-long-do-i-have-to-wait-to-see-if-my-slip-and-fall-injury-is-serious\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
