Whiplash Injuries

Oftentimes, car accidents and other unfortunate things happen at the worst times. Yet, that will not stop the insurance company from calling to get a recorded statement from you. Before giving a recorded statement, give us a call.

Did you know that your symptoms and pain related to a car accident may not show up for a couple of days? This is why it is important to go to the doctor. If there is a gap in medical treatment, your insurance company will do everything in its power not to pay you what you deserve. To them, gaps in treatment may signal that you were not actually hurt in the first place.  Give us and your doctor a call if you’re ever in an accident.

In our state, you only have one year to file suit for an injury or wrongful death claim due to an accident. This time limit is called the prescription period. If you do not file your lawsuit during this prescriptive period, then you lose your ability to file forever.  Let’s file your suit in a timely manner.

Have you ever been rear-ended at a low speed? Or, have you ever been hit by a car traveling at a low speed? If so, the insurance company may try to low-ball your payout. Why? Because a low-speed car accident is not a proper gauge for the injuries that you personally suffer.

While you do not need a police report after an accident, you will definitely wish you had one when filing your suit. Reports help to create a baseline recounting of the events that occurred, and to keep track of the accounts of each party. Without a police report, people can easily change their stories and drag out litigation.  If you can wait, get the police report.
