This is a very tough question. I cannot tell my clients to go to the doctor. Clearly it is better for their case (and their health) to treat with a doctor and get whatever therapies are requested by the doctor. On the other hand, people are afraid of coronavirus and even if they are healthy and maybe have less to worry about, some people are rightly concerned about getting the coronavirus and giving it to their loved ones who may not be as healthy and much more susceptible to complications from the coronavirus. So from a purely legal perspective, it is important to go to the doctor, although if there ever was a good excuse of why to have a gap in treatment, this pandemic would seem to be a very good reason and one would hope the jury would be more forgiving of same in an accident case. But clearly one’s personal health and the health of their loved ones is going to take priority in this situation.
