I didn’t suffer a severe injury, should I see a doctor anyway?

Yes. The forces involved in a car accident are enormous and could result in serious injuries, even if you don’t feel the effects in the moment. In addition to seeing a doctor shortly after the accident, you should watch out for symptoms of injury. Once you have seen a doctor, contact our Lake Elsinore car accident lawyers at The Paris Firm to schedule a free consultation.

What injury symptoms should I be aware of?

There are many common car accident injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Look out for injury symptoms such as:

Confusion
Dizziness
Inability to sleep/nightmares
Soreness or tingling in spine, arms or legs
Personality changes, moodiness or depression
Fatigue
Neck pain & sensitivity to movement
Memory loss

Doesn’t my Insurance Cover Me?

In some ways, your insurance provider is on your side. They are obligated by law and contract, which means you have some common interests. In other ways, your insurance company may be your opponent. An insurance company’s profits are driven up by paying out less in claims, including your car accident claim. They may see your incident and resulting injury as a liability, which may lead them to make a decision or suggest a settlement that’s in their best interest, not yours. It’s an unfortunate, built-in conflict of interest that the company you pay to cover you when something happens, tries to minimize the amount they have to pay when something does happen.

My insurance company recently made me an offer. Should I accept?

When your insurance company makes you an offer, it’s usually based on an expectation of what they might have to pay for your accident – often using historical data and claims they’ve paid in the past. It’s usually at the lower end of what your accident is likely to cost in the long run, even if it seems like a lot based on your current medical bills.
