How Does Personal Injury Affect You?

Suffering through a personal injury can be overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with a minor injury or very serious injuries, the repercussions can be lasting. Common injuries sustained in car accidents include wrist and ankle bone fractures, trauma to the head and neck that could cause brain injury or whiplash, and lower back injuries. What if you can’t work because of the injury? What if you are unable to pay your bills and get the medical attention you need?

​

There is also the matter of lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Insurance companies settle cases such as these everyday, so they’re used to working to settle cases like yours for the smallest dollar amount possible.
