If I was in a wreck and injured my back but did not file a claim or get medical attention at the time,can I still get medical attention and file a claim 1 year later?

I was assuming I had just strained my back and it would go away and since I did not have medical insurance I could not afford medical bills. So I did not get medical attention at the time of the wreck. However, My injury has just gotten more painful and has not ceased since the wreck. Can I still seek medical attention after 11 months of the wreck and file a claim against the negligent driver since I received my injury in the wreck?
