Auto Accidents

Accidents happen. It’s unfortunate, but true. Often times, we know immediately when we have been injured in an accident and know we need to take action. In other cases, we may not know for days or weeks that we suffered injuries. The design of late model vehicles leads to soft tissue injuries in collisions involving speeds of only 5mph in some cases, a speed we often don’t associate with any need to assure our continued health. It’s the soft tissue injuries occurring in low speed collisions that often times don’t immediately show symptoms.

In today’s environment, it is also imperative that you have a health care provider that is skilled in dealing with your attorney and/or insurance adjuster to assure you get proper settlement from your claim. At Hackleman Chiropractic, we pride ourselves on working with all parties involved for the best interests of our patients.

Common Questions about Car Accidents:

I’ve been in an accident, what do I do now?
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, the worst thing to do is wait. The pain may subside, but the injury may still be there and the damage done by whiplash, even at 5mph, can have serious effects on the body. The damage to the soft tissue is often severe and medication will not treat the cause, merely the symptoms.

It is important to know what you’re getting into when filing a claim with insurance.

Med-Pay would be a third party option to go through to process your medical claims that is often already built into your auto insurance to provide you with what you will need in the case of an auto accident. Make sure to check if your insurance provides Med-Pay and what other things they might offer.
