What You Should Know If You
Have Been Involved In A
Car Accident In Bellevue or Seattle.
If you have been in a car accident in Seattle or Bellevue, you have a lot of things to think about. Did you know that one of the most stressful aspects of living in the modern ages is dealing with the problems that arise after an auto accident?
Were you also aware that most accident injuries are hidden and often are not detected for months or even years?
Worse than that, most auto accident victims are unaware of the damaging effects of hidden injuries so they release the insurance company from liability by settling before getting checked for hidden injuries.
That is a “No-No!”
Don’t let this happen to you!
Because if you do, you may experience pain, headaches, muscle stiffness, fatigue, and other problems months down the road.
Nothing is more important than your health especially when you start to lose it.
Here’s where the problem begins…
Most people who suffer from an auto accident have one thing on their mind;
Their automobile!
Common questions include,
“Who is going to fix my car?”
“What will I drive in the mean time?”
“They’re fixing it with after-market parts?”
“Will my insurance rates go up?”
“Who is going to pay for everything?”
To sum it up, car accidents are a real pain!
Not only that, you may have noticed that since your accident, you have not been feeling your normal self. You may be experiencing obvious pains and symptoms like headaches, muscle stiffness, neck pain, difficulty sleeping, irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and many other difficulties.
Or worse than that, YOU MAY BE FEELING NOTHING AT ALL.
Either way, did you know that auto accidents can cause post traumatic Osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis can ruin your posture, cause discs in your spine to degenerate, produce severe pain, and lead to an inability to move properly. When this happens, simple tasks like turning your neck become almost impossible.
Most doctors are not trained in the detection of hidden injuries.
How are Hidden Injuries Detected?
As a chiropractor Dr. Michael Weir is trained in the biomechanics of the human body. This means that he can perform specific orthopedic, neurological, as well as other functional tests that measure muscle strength, range of motion, and joint and nerve function.
Special x-rays as well as motion x-rays are taken and special tests are performed including orthopedic, neurological testing. Dr. Weir analysis the x-rays and results of the examination and finds out if there has been any structural damage.
Even most medical doctors are unaware of these specific x-ray analysis methodologies.
Should I see an attorney first, before I see Dr. Weir?
It is important that you get checked by Dr. Weir first, that way his findings will allow you the information you need in order to decide if an attorney is necessary.
First call (425)635-0495 and mention that you would like to schedule a Whiplash Injury Detection Test with Dr. Weir.
His office is trained in handling all the paperwork to see that your rights are protected and that your injuries are thoroughly documented. Injuries are easier to find if you do not wait weeks after the accident… so the sooner you are checked the better.
In fact, research has shown that the longer you wait, the higher the probability that treatment will take longer.
A Personal Note From Dr. Weir:
“Hello, my name is Dr. Michael Weir and I am the clinic director of Back in Action Chiropractic Accident and Injury Center. If you have been in an auto accident recently, there are some important decisions you have to make and if I were you I’d make these decisions very seriously.
Most of my patients have been to other doctors before coming to my office for my specialized care. In my experience the vast majority of people that are in a car accident suffer from a variety of injuries. It is very important that you are checked to see if you have sustained any correctable injuries. You are welcome to visit our Injury Center and get a Whiplash Injury ProAdjuster scan test to detect any hidden injuries. This is at no obligation to you, just to give you peace of mind of what may be going on in your body.”
“But my car only has minor damage?”
A “Controlled Low Speed Impact Testing” conducted at the University of British Columbia proved that there is more damage to vehicle occupants if the vehicle does not wreck.
And additional research says that the amount of damage to an automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical spine of the occupants.
Gargen and Bannister reported a late onset of neck pain, extremity pain or paresthesia, interscapular pain, tinnitus, headache, dizziness, and visual disturbances after one week.
Nerve damage can lead to Carpel Tunnel Syndrome up to 2 years later.
FINAL WORDS
You have rights, and you may not be aware of what those rights are. You also need to know that most doctors are not trained in treating soft tissue injuries.
Soft tissue injuries are usually more dangerous than even a broken bone. Broken bones can heal up pretty fast and well. Soft tissues heal with scar tissue and cause future pain and suffering. Scar tissue can effect tendons, ligaments, discs, joints, blood supply, lymph nodes, range of motion, muscle strength and can rapidly speed up the degenerative processes of the spine known as
Post Traumatic Osteoarthritis.
Guess what?
A good majority of our patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome had experienced an auto accident in the previous 5 years and #1.) received no treatment because they thought they just had the "normal" headaches and sore neck that you usually get from car accidents. 0r #2.) Had conservative medical treatment. (“All you have is muscle spasms, take Advil and muscle relaxer.” Which may be an important part to the healing process, but not the whole thing!)
There have been reports recently of insurance companies contacting accident victims immediately after the accident. The companies tell victims they want to help and ask them to settle their claim. If you’re in an accident and this happens to you, ask yourself, whom is the insurance company really trying to help?
It is my opinion that using a lawyer is a wise choice since lawyers can help clients get all the money they are entitled to after an accident. Most accident victims don’t know all their legal rights or all they are entitled to under the insurance policy.
The insurance industry’s own research shows that car accident victims receive more money when represented by a lawyer.
