Injury Types
In a car accident there are many types of injuries that can result. For example: Pain in your neck or spine may be caused by the vertebrae shifting out of their proper areas. Ligaments and tendons can be strained or torn. Bones can be broken. Even in minor car accidents like fender benders where no outward signs of injury can be seen, there can be internal injuries, neck strains, back tension, torn muscles, or soft tissue stress that can cause pain. Injuries, and the pain they cause, can affect your ability to go about your normal daily routine/work and take away from your quality of life. Seeing a medical professional to diagnose the injury and then getting treatment so you can start to heal is the priority. Call now to schedule your no cost medical exam.

Your spine consists of 33 vertebrae separated into your neck, upper back, lower back, and tailbone. These vertebrae protect your spinal column. Your spinal discs cushion your spine and absorb shock. Back injuries occur when pressure is put on the spinal column by quick jarring movements or collision impact. Common injuries to your spinal discs are herniated discs and bulging discs. Herniated discs occur when the outer ring of tissue in your spinal disc is torn. A bulging disc swells beyond the margins of the vertebrae.

Have I Been Fully Treated and Fully Healed?
You may not know the full extent or nature of your injuries for several weeks or months after the accident. Though at first, it may seem that your forehead was simply bruised you may have sustained a concussion or closed head injury; and that “stiff neck” might turn out to be a herniated disc. For this reason, it would be wise not to enter into a quick settlement with the insurance company. Any settlement will almost always include a release of all future claims. This release of claims means that the insurance company is no longer liable even if you discover new injuries.
