Treatment after a Car Accident

Last time we talked on the topic of quickly settling with the insurance company without a car accident attorney and why not to do it! This time we will talk about how your body reacts to a car accident and treatment to make your recovery faster and less painful.
Immediately after a car accident, your body’s first reaction is shock. Your auto accident lawyer will tell you that although you may be in shock immediately after the auto accident, if you are injured, later in the day or in the evening, you will start to feel the soreness in your neck or back.

Some clients are hesitant to seek medical treatment, because they are busy enough with work, home and all of the other commitments they already have to deal with everyday. Some clients think that they will just get better in a couple weeks and everything will be normal. However, this can be very detrimental to your body and your case.

Your car wreck lawyer will tell you that she has seen it time and time again, a client thinks they are just a little sore and doesn’t get treatment. Then, a couple weeks go by and your body is not just getting better. Now, the client comes into the car accident lawyer’s office and wants to get medical care. However, by waiting for two weeks, the insurance company can and definitely does argue that the client must have been injured in some other, new accident, otherwise, they would have gotten treatment sooner, if they were really injured.
Your car accident attorney will argue that the insurance company’s reasoning is flawed, but the insurance company will argue this during the entirety of your case. It is your car accident attorney’s experience that an otherwise straightforward case may even end up going to an arbitration hearing or trial because of a two week gap in treatment.

Seeing your auto accident lawyer is always free. Seeing your car wreck lawyer the day of the accident, or at the latest, the next day after the accident, is always the best idea. Your car accident attorney will coordinate immediate medical treatment for you, including prescription, chiropractic and medical doctor care, so you can be on the road to recovery and get the maximum amount for your car accident case. Always remember that there is no out of pocket cost to you to see any car accident lawyer or for your car accident related medical treatment.

Next time, we will talk about what to look for in personal injury attorney!

Marijuana Use And Florida Drivers

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence [1]   confirms that marijuana use leads to impaired drivers: “Since marijuana is the second most commonly used drug associated with drinking and drugged driving after alcohol, it is important to understand why it is particularly dangerous.   THC, the high producing element in marijuana, affects areas of the brain that control body movements, balance, coordination, memory, and judgment.  Evidence from both real and simulated driving studies indicate that marijuana negatively affects a driver’s attentiveness, perception of time and speed, and ability to draw on information obtained from past experiences. Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
