Common Pains
and Injuries after a Car Accidents

No matter how severe a car accident is, pains and injuries can come in various forms. Car accidents result in some common pains:

• Upper neck soreness and stiffness
• Lower back soreness and stiffness
• Whiplash
• Lacerations or cuts
• Lower body trauma
• Head trauma

No matter how you feel after the accident, it is important to get checked out by a medical professional if able. Many pains and injuries can go under the radar after an accident, especially immediately afterward, as the body can numb the pain with adrenaline.

Filing your Car
Accident Case on time

Our lives are for the most part, dictated by deadlines and timing. After a car accident, it is important to report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible and to fill out an accident report through the DMV within 72 hours. The other major deadline that needs to be on your mind is two years.

An injury victim has two years from the date of the accident and injuries (same date) to file a claim. If this sounds like a long time, it can be deceiving. Time flies in these stressful situations and circumstances, therefore it is important to call an experienced and dedicated attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can help you make the best decisions for you and your loved ones.
