How many times have you heard of a car that was totaled and the driver walked away without any injuries? When this happens you say, "someone was very lucky."
How many times have you heard of a "fender-bender" and the driver sustained many serious injuries? I know, when you hear of these you say, "Ya right, this person is milking the system."
Honestly, some of the "smallest" accidents can cause the biggest injuries. About my car accident...it was a little one....for the car that is. For me....yes I was "looked at" as if I wasn't really hurt.... it wasn't until additional tests that were run that it was discovered I really was hurt (imagine that).
What is important to know when you are involved in a car accident is that NO MATTER how LITTLE the accident was go see a DOCTOR.
If you do require emergency care....make sure YOU or someone you trust knows what is going on and what treatment you are being provided. Emergency Room Doctors are NOT specialists...they are there to SAVE YOUR LIFE. It is essential that YOU or someone you trust knows what is going on.
Once you are out of the woods for a medical emergency GO SEE AN ATTORNEY! Insurance companies are not "rich" because they pay all the claims. Their first reaction to claims is to deny, deny, deny. If your accident was "little" but your pain is not....you will need an Attorney to fight for your rights according to your policy! Insurance companies have Attorneys that will fight paying you. No matter how "smart" you are "the person who represents him or herself has a fool for a client." (I love this saying). I consider myself a "smart" person. But no matter how smart you are, no matter how much of the law you know...when it is personal emotions will eventually take over. Hiring an Attorney keeps the emotional aspect of your injuries out of the equation and focuses on the facts...and the Insurance Companies will claim they "care" about your emotions but they only deal in facts.
Don't get the "experience" at the loss of your claim. Attorneys have the experience already, they know how to fight the big insurance companies and get what you deserve!
