Auto Accident Information - What You Need To Know

Accidents happen. It’s unfortunate, but true. Often times, we know immediately when we have been injured in an accident and know we need to take action.

In other cases, we may not know for days or weeks that we suffered injuries. The design of late model vehicles leads to soft tissue injuries in collisions involving speeds of only 5mph in some cases, a speed we often don’t associate with any need to assure our continued health.

It’s the soft tissue injuries occurring in low speed collisions that often times don’t immediately show symptoms. In today’s environment, it is also imperative that you have a health care provider that is skilled in dealing with your attorney and/or insurance adjuster to assure you get proper settlement from your claim.
