Should I see a doctor after an accident if I didn’t suffer an injury?

Yes. There are tremendous forces involved in a car accident impact that could possibly result in serious injuries, even if you don’t feel the effects immediately afterward. In addition to seeing a medical professional after the accident, you should watch out for symptoms of injury. Once you have sought medical attention, contact the Anaheim car accident lawyers at The Paris Firm to schedule a free consultation.

What symptoms of serious injury should I be aware of?

There are many common car accident injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Look out for brain injury symptoms such as:

Dizziness
Personality changes, moodiness or depression
Inability to sleep/nightmares
Fatigue
Confusion
Memory loss

Also look for spine injury symptoms such as:

Short of breath
Numbness
Tingling
Back & neck pain
Pain elsewhere in the body
Weakness

This may involve limbs, certain regions of the body, or certain organs. The symptoms may also worsen with time and shouldn’t be dismissed.

Won’t my insurance policy protect me?

Your insurance company has certain legal obligations and your contract with them means you have some common interests. Unfortunately, an insurance company’s profits are driven by the claims they pay, the claims they can reduce and the ones they don’t pay at all. In some ways your insurance company may be on your side and in other ways, they may be your adversary. They may see your incident and resulting injury as a liability, which may lead them to make a decision or suggest a resolution that’s in their best interest. It’s an ongoing conflict of interest that they will never acknowledge.

When should I contact a lawyer about my car accident claim?

You should contact an attorney about your car accident claim when:

You have been diagnosed with injuries and presented with a treatment plan
You have received a settlement offer from your insurance company (see below)
You are being pressured to give multiple statements about the accident, or you feel your claim is being handled too slowly
You feel overwhelmed by the issues related to your car accident

My insurance company wants to settle my claim. Should I accept their offer?

When your insurance company makes you an offer, it’s often based on their expectation of what they might have to pay for your accident. They crunch the numbers on the claims they’ve paid in the past as a way to calculate your settlement offer. Their offer is usually at the lower end of what your accident is likely to cost in the long run, hoping that you’ll take it quickly and they can move on.

If you have suffered a serious injury in a car accident in Anaheim, you may need ongoing medical care, multiple surgeries, and physical and psychological therapy. You may need a part/full-time health care assistant, a motorized wheelchair, or even a specially equipped vehicle. These are often things an initial insurance settlement offer may not account for.

The decisions you make in the moments following a car accident can have an enormous impact on the outcome of your auto accident claim.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury or even wrongful death due to the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of another driver, you have the right to obtain financial compensation for the damages you have suffered.
