Introduction: Vehicle accidents are never pleasant and never welcome. They cost us our cars, our health, our insurance, our driving record, and in the most serious cases, our lives or those of our loved ones. Vehicle accidents also are insidious; they usually turn out to be much more serious than anticipated. That little dent costs hundreds of dollars to repair. That bashed-in grill might mean your car is totaled, and that nagging neck pain? That might be far more serious than you think. In the immediate hours and days after a vehicle accident, our adrenaline kicks in and can mask serious health issues that result from our injuries. We might feel “okay” and try to convince ourselves that we are “fine” and can carry on bravely but many times, we eventually have to admit that our shoulder might be separated, our wrist might indeed be broken, or our lower back might have a disc out of place. If you haven’t been to a doctor or hospital lately, you might be shocked at the cost of medical care now. X-rays and other diagnostic tests that you might need will quickly raise your bill into five figures. Once you’ve been diagnosed, rehabilitation and therapy are quite costly as well, and you might need to be in rehab far longer than you guessed. Casts, splints, slings, and wheelchairs are also more expensive than you probably realize. The bottom line? Getting into a vehicle accident will probably cost you far more than you anticipate, which is exactly why you should contact a car accident lawyer immediately. Let a true professional assemble a case for you, so that you receive the compensation that you need and deserve. A car accident attorney will draw on years of experience to estimate what you will need to completely recover (making calculations on the high end and not the low end). Who is going to pay for all of this medical care? You need a competent personal injury lawyer by your side to help you get the funds you need to recover fully without financial worry.
