Whether the accident is related to the workplace, a motor vehicle accident or a dog bite, it is important to seek the counsel of an experienced attorney. After properly determining liability, we will immediately begin negotiating with the at-fault party's insurance carrier to ensure you receive compensation for your injuries and their effect on your life.
There are a wide variety of types of injuries that can be suffered in an accident, including:
- Fractures and other bone injuries can be among the easiest to diagnose. With the help of standard X-ray technology, a medical professional can fully understand the severity of the break and what is needed to facilitate repair.
- Soft tissue injuries were difficult to diagnose in the past, and many individuals still do not fully understand the impact of these injuries. With an MRI examination, it is possible to get an accurate "picture" of the damage to tissue, tendons and ligaments necessary to determine the severity of the injury and the potential length of rehabilitation and treatment.
- Whiplash is caused when there is a severe impact from the rear, forcing the head to snap forward. The most serious whiplash injuries result when an individual is looking to the side when the impact occurs. The head, while sideways, is forced forward — a violent and unnatural movement.
- Closed head injuries can be difficult to diagnose, because there is typically no outward sign of distress. Commonly, the diagnosis must be made by a neurologist on the strength of changes in behavior or changes in personality. It is common for the injured individual to be unaware that a change in personality has occurred. His or her loved ones will notice the changes and contact a lawyer or medical professional for help.
