More than two million people are the victims of a car accident injury each year in the United States. The majority of car accidents, resulting in car accident injury, are due to negligence on the part of one or both of the drivers. Negligence is defined as failure to exercise a degree of care that is necessary in order to prevent damage or car accident injury.

After you have called the police, exchanged driver information, and notified your insurance company about the accident; it is in your best interests to seek legal counsel. The insurance companies already have a team of investigators and attorneys working to deny your claim. You need someone fighting for your rights.

Facet joints occur in pairs at the back of each vertebra in the spine. The facet joints link the vertebrae to form a working entity that permits rotation and flexion of the spine. The facet joint bone surfaces are covered with articular cartilage, allowing the bones to glide over each other with minimal friction.
Whiplash is an acceleration-deceleration neck injury most frequently incurred in a motor vehicle accident. It involves soft tissue injury and sometimes bone structure damage. The soft tissue includes ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Soft tissue injuries are seldom revealed through x-rays. An MRI is more effective for diagnosing these injuries and any instability in the neck and spine; but due to the expense, an MRI may not be requested by your doctor or authorized by your insurance company.
