You are unlikely to get compensation for the time taken to go to a doctor unless you have taken time off from work. If you did take time off from work, then it will be counted as loss income and you are entitled to be compensated. However the cost of driving to a doctor or hospital is compensated on a per mile basis.
If you have been injured in an accident, you are not required to accept whatever the insurance company offers. If you believe that you are entitled to receive more compensation, you can negotiate with the insurance company. Remember, if you settle with an insurance company, the insurance company will require that you sign a release stating that you release everyone from any claim(s) resulting from the event which caused the injury. This release effectively ends completely any and all claims for damages suffered in the injury event regardless of who caused the injury or what was the injury. Before reaching a settlement, it is wise to make sure that you have reached maximum medical healing and that you know what are all of your damages. Many insurance adjusters will try to get you to settle early and quickly before you know what are your total damages.

If you are undergoing surgery you typically do not anticipate surgical errors. You reasonably believe that the surgeon and medical team performing the procedure are competent, experienced, and prudent enough to perform the surgery without committing surgical errors. Surgical error includes errors committed the surgeon, anesthesiologist, or hospital nursing personnel. Surgical errors can result in injuries far beyond any anticipated possible outcome. A surgical error can result in pain, repeating the surgery, scarring, and sometimes wrongful death. The common causes of surgical errors are poor pre-operative planning, procedural errors and post operative injuries. Medical practitioners despite their good intentions, skill and training, may commit mistakes. They are humans after all. But the medical profession demands the medical practitioners to be attentive, competent, and careful in administering their services. The lives of people are at stake. Surgical error is a result of the failure to exercise the necessary care. A victim of surgical error can file a lawsuit for compensation for the suffering and pain caused by the surgical error. Each state has its own law on surgical errors. The surgeon and other medical practitioners connected with the surgery can be liable for professional negligence or omission to act.
