Personal Injury Protection Claims

PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENTS

Whether major or minor, accidents happen. No matter the severity, personal injury accidents can potentially cause long-term or permanent injury to the vehicle of your life – your body. Every accident should be taken seriously.

We understand the struggle victims may face immediately after an accident. Not only will pain onset and debilitate your daily living, but you may be confused about who is responsible for helping you restore your life to its condition before the accident.

You may have heard the terms “personal injury law” or “personal injury case.” What this means to you is that if you are injured in an accident, you have the right to recover money damages from the person or business responsible for your injury. Every person and business has a legal duty to behave in a manner that avoids harm to others. Visit this site Website

By bringing a claim or a lawsuit against the responsible person or business, we can help you recover for your expenses and suffering resulting from a personal injury accident. Working together with you, we can prove that the person or business who caused you harm acted in a way that was unsafe or irresponsible.  

Especially in our South Florida community, car crashes and injuries happen too often. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 1,025 car crashes per day in the State of Florida in the year 2015. Of those, 34% occurred in South Florida. The State of Florida recorded 243,316 on-the-scene personal injuries that year.

Even in a minor car accident or slip and fall, it is common that some injury is suffered, although often unreported. Dr. Arthur C. Croft, one of the world’s leading doctors in the field of chiropractic medicine, has authored some of the most often-cited books on spinal injury and treatment. In a study of accident victims, Dr. Croft concluded that 92% of people who experienced a whiplash-type injury (a rapid movement of the head or neck which is typically experienced in falls or car accidents) will suffer from neck pain attributable to spinal injury in varying grades. Even a person suffering from the lowest grade of injury (Grade 1) is recommended to receive up to 21 treatment sessions in order to return to the pre-injury condition. Those suffering greater injury (up to Grade 5) require more frequent and prolonged therapy and potentially more invasive procedures such as surgical repair.

Based on our years of experience, we understand that besides common neck pain, victims of personal injury accidents may suffer head pain, shoulder pain, arm and wrist pain, middle and lower back pain, and even paid down into the hips, knees, and feet. Victims also report symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and sharp or shooting pain into the extremities, which may be a sign of nerve damage in the associated areas of the spine. There is also developing study in the area of brain injuries which can be attributed to a personal injury accident.
