Recovering For Hidden Injuries in California Traffic Accidents

A car accident can take a heavy toll on your body even if you are able to get up and walk away afterwards. While you may not have many visible injuries like bruises and cuts, something much more sinister may be lurking beneath the surface of your skin, only worsening without detection. The true damage of a car accident may not be noticeable for days, weeks and even months after the initial accident. Unfortunately for many drivers and passengers involved in a car accident, the most severe of their injuries will not reveal themselves until it is too late for them to recover.

 A Quick Settlement, A Lifetime of Pain – Many drivers and passengers injured in a car accident are quick to take settlement offers and payouts from insurance companies. After all most people want to get back to living their life as soon as possible and some people simply cannot afford to wait on a drawn out negotiation with an insurance company for more money. But when a person accepts an offer or payout from an insurance company, they are giving up their right to any future compensation from injuries sustained in the car accident and that is exactly what insurance companies want.

Insurance companies are for profit entities. They seek to limit the amount of money that they will have to pay out when an accident occurs and limit their liability. By offering a quick settlement to injured parties, an insurance company uses its superior financial position to undercut yours.

 Hidden Injuries – The worst types of injuries from car accidents do not appear immediately after the accident and are only properly diagnosed after extensive medical testing. These injuries are typically in the neck, spine, back and head. Such injuries may not heal on their own and without proper treatment will slowly progressively get worse until a person becomes racked with chronic pain.

One of the most common injuries that occurs from a car accident that people are familiar is what is colloquially called “whiplash.” “Whiplash” is an informal term used to describe soft tissue injuries in the neck, usually caused by the head rotating or hyperextending during the impact of a car accident. The most common symptom of whiplash is neck pain, but most people explain away this pain to being in a car accident. Meanwhile, the injury to your body gets worse as symptoms increase in severity.
