In my wife's case, something petty and unexpected happened. Right after her accident, she went to see a doctor, who examined her quickly, said she had nothing to worry about, and prescribed a few days of medical leave to take a rest. As it was her last day with her current employer, she had no real reason to take a medical leave and declare it to authorities, and so she just dismissed it. A few years later, her insurance company used this information against her, claiming that the accident could not be the cause of her subsequent pain, because she did not take a medical leave at that time... Things may work differently in other countries, but at least in France, be sure you do everything that may later prove that you are actually suffering (if you are indeed). I love insurance companies...
