Why do you need a lawyer:

One of the most common injuries that arise from auto accidents is whiplash, or soft tissue injuries to the neck. The second most common injuries are low back pain. Since some of these injuries are low speed impacts, many Insurance companies disregard these injuries and will attempt to settle for 'pennies on the dollar'. A classic example are Minor Impact Soft Tissue Injuries (MIST). These are typically soft tissue injuries resulting in low speed impacts with relatively little damage to the vehicle. Insurance Carriers 'segmented' these types of injuries from other injuries with the logic that if there was little property damage to the vehicle, then it is unlikely or impossible to cause significant or permanent injury. Therefore, these claims were denied or settled for far under what the victim deserved. Medically, we know that the research does not support this kind of thinking. There are so many factors that need to be taken into account in a car accident: what types of vehicles were involved ? How rigid were the frames ? What was the occupants position in the vehicle ? Was the seatback broken ? How far from the headrest was the head positioned ? These are but a few questions that your Doctor should be asking you. For example: Physics tells us that a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Once that body collides with another object, there is a transfer of energy. Depending on the Physics of the vehicles (types/rigidity), the occupant (patient) absorbs that energy during a collision. This is why one should seek a qualified Doctor with experience and expertise in these types of injuries in order to Document these factors and explain why a low speed impact could cause significant injuries. Personal Injury attorneys can help recover damages such as lost wages, property damage, a proper settlement and in most cases Medical Treatment.
