Fortunately, for most of us being in a car accident is a very rare occurrence. But for those of you who have, you know and understand the stress that can be caused from having to deal with certain problems that arise after the crash. To make matters worse, sometimes car crash injuries remain dormant and aren’t detected for months afterwards. This can allow an injury to remain untreated, causing even bigger problems, including unnecessary pain, in the long run. It is vital that after being in a car accident, you speak with a doctor trained in car accident related injuries. As a doctor of chiropractic medicine, Dr. Murphy specializes in such cases.
Here are the most common mistakes that injured car accident victims will make:
1. Immediately returning to work or daily activities – If you’ve been involved in a moderate to severe car crash, you have more than likely experienced extreme forces moving through your body. At the moment of impact, these forces pass through muscles, tissues, and joints and can cause severe inflammation and bruising which may not be noticed until the following day or two. By not allowing these injuries to heal through treatment and rest, you may be causing further damage.
2. Settling with the insurance company prior to speaking with a chiropractor or other trained back and neck physician – If your car crash has led to an injury that is lying dormant and doesn’t become noticeable until you tweak it somehow, and you’ve already settled with the insurance company, you will have lost your right for coverage, even though your injury was a result of the car accident. A good legal representative you alert you of this fact.
