Addison, IL Car Accident Injuries

Neck and back injuries are the two most common injuries after a car crash. These are most common in front rear and side impact collisions. They occur when your body is moved violently backwards or forwards or side to side. If you are over the age of 35 or if you have a health history which includes a neck injury or back injury in your past, you are far more likely to suffer a new injury in your Addison, IL car accident.

The problem with neck or back injuries is that they begin the same way, whether they are short-term muscle strains or longer-term and more serious injuries. That's why no matter what kind of injury you have, minor or major and permanent, it is key to go to the doctor right away.

When you decide which doctor to treat with after your car accident, it is very important to deal with a doctor who is familiar with how car accident injury claims work.

How Long Does an Addison, IL Car Accident Take to Settle?

This is a very common question the people involved in a motor vehicle crash have for me. The truth is that some cases can be resolved very quickly. Some cases take years.

Many people don't know that we cannot begin to solve or settle your case until after you are done going to the doctor or you reach a point where you have healed as much as you're going to. Ideally, this means you go back to normal in your pain free. But sometimes a permanent injury means that you are left with a permanent disability and permanent pain in your body as a result of the car accident. This is why it is important to speak with an Addison, IL car accident attorney after a crash.

If you think about it, it makes sense. We would not want to settle a car accident injury case in Addison, IL until we know the full extent of your injuries and we know whether, for example, you need to have surgery or not. Any of my clients who might need a surgery are told by me that they should wait until after the surgery and after a full recovery from their surgery. That's because sometimes one surgery requires another surgery. Sometimes one surgery fails to fix the problem. And, sometimes even when everything goes right in a surgery, you are still left with permanent pain and injuries.

Obviously, permanent serious injuries are worth far more than temporary minor injuries. We have to explore this fully and make sure you get all necessary medical care before settling a case.

However, my office is extremely aggressive and I have a fully trained staff who understands that getting you your money as quickly as possible is a very high priority.
