Think Your Car Accident Is Too Small? Don’t Make This Mistake
In this video, we explain why you should not automatically assume that a car accident is too minor to justify speaking with a personal injury lawyer.
A vehicle may show relatively little visible damage, but the people inside can still experience neck pain, back injuries, headaches, concussion symptoms, or other problems that become more noticeable after the initial shock of the collision has passed.
Even a seemingly minor car accident may result in:
- Medical bills and follow-up appointments
- Physical therapy or rehabilitation
- Time missed from work
- Neck, back, or shoulder pain
- Headaches or concussion symptoms
- Vehicle repair expenses
- Disputes with the insurance company
What Determines Whether a Car Accident Claim Is Worth Pursuing?
The seriousness of a personal injury claim is not determined solely by the amount of visible damage to the vehicles.
A complete evaluation may consider:
- The nature and severity of the injuries
- The medical treatment received
- Whether additional treatment may be necessary
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Available insurance coverage
- Evidence showing who caused the collision
- How the injuries affect the person’s daily life
Every accident is different. Before deciding that your case is too small to matter, consider having the circumstances reviewed by a personal injury attorney.
