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.

Herniated disc injuries often occur in car accidents, but they are rarely diagnosed in the emergency room because they do not show up on x-rays. A disc can push out into the spinal canal and press against spinal nerves. When this happens it can produce severe neck, arm, back, leg, and / or foot pain. If you have had a car accident and are experiencing sharp pain in your neck, arm, back, leg, or foot, you should see a doctor immediately.
