10 Things you NEED to know about your auto accident.

Where you Injured in an Auto Accident?

10 things you NEED to know!

1. You do not have to go to the doctor that your Insurance company or attorney wants you to go to. You have the right to choose the doctor who you feel most confident that will get you better as quickly as possible.
2. In nearly every auto accident, there are hidden injuries. What causes the hidden injuries are little tears to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and disc. You may not notice them at first, but when they heal with scar tissue, the pain can become something you have to "live with" for the rest of your life. You can prevent this with the proper treatment.
3. Pain Killers and Muscle relaxers are not the proper treatment for this injury. The drugs just cover up the symptom of the torn tissues. By taking pain killers, you may not be aware of the tears and may make your injury worse. It is recommended to take the pain killers only if you have to to get by.
4. In the first 72 hours, ICE is your best friend. Stay away from Heat, Massage, and stretching the injured areas because it may make your injury worse. We want you to get better as quickly as possible without having any long-term side complications.
5. Chiropractors are trained to properly assess and treat these type of injuries. Just like there are many types of medical doctors, there are also many types of chiropractors. Make sure you choose a chiropractor that sees accident victims everyday.
6. Buy Personal Injury Protection (PIP) on your auto insurance. Without it, your insurance company may not pay for your treatment and/or time off from work. This is important in case you are hit by an uninsured motorist or if you are at fault.
7. Insurance companies use attorneys.
8. Hiring an attorney doesn't automatically mean you are suing. Attorney's will help you fill out the needed paperwork, talk with the adjusters as your agent, set up a letter of protection with your doctor (so you won't have to pay out of pocket), and protect your rights.
9. To help avoid accidents, do not talk on the cell phone while driving and turn on your headlights if you have to turn on your wipers in the rain.
10. It is very wise to ask questions when you are not sure about anything concerning the process. This is a legal process and should be handled with certainty. If you have any questions please Contact Us.
