Why Is It Essential to See a Chiropractor After a Truck Accident?

Every individual involved in a truck accident should see a doctor or chiropractor following a truck crash.

Even if you don't have any visible injuries or pain, you could be suffering from underlying injuries.

Sometimes truck accident victims do not notice their injuries because symptoms do not become present until days or weeks later.

Injuries sustained in truck crashes can range from spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, head trauma, internal injuries, brain injuries, broken bones, head injuries, and other types of pain and suffering.

This is often due to the release of adrenaline following the accident. It is the body's natural coping method to help deal with the stress and trauma of the event.

Therefore, whether you feel pain or not, you could still be injured and it is essential to address those potential injuries before permanent damage is done.

For example, Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome, or whiplash, is a serious condition that if not treated can lead to debilitating chronic pain.

It is caused by a rapid acceleration and deceleration of the neck and back that creates severe strain to the muscles and soft tissue surrounding the spine.

In addition to looking out for your own physical health, waiting too long to seek treatment for your injuries can also be detrimental to your truck accident injury case.

The insurance company will argue that your delayed injuries were caused by another event that was not the truck crash.

Do not give the insurance company an excuse to not payout the settlement you deserve.

Truck accidents can be life altering and have serious effects on your long term health.

If your injuries were caused by a truck driver, trucking company or other negligent party, we can help you get in contact with a top law firm today.

Tips After Your Truck Accident

We understand that the first moments following truck accidents can be extremely stressful and even confusing.

Well, that is why we are here to help guide you in the right steps to take after truck accidents.

First, it is important to move to safety as soon as possible, especially if the accident happened on a busy road or intersection.

Your health and safety is top priority, so make sure to take care of yourself and others at the scene of the accident. If necessary, call an ambulance and seek medical attention for injuries you or others have suffered.

Even if your injuries may not appear severe, it is still important to seek medical assistance after your accident.

Once you are in a safe area, be sure to call the police. Not only do you need to obtain a police report, but they will also be able to direct traffic and manage towing if that is necessary.

When the police arrive, they will assess the scene of the accident write a police report and then ticket the at-fault driver.

This police report and ticket will be essential in proving negligence and fault in your personal injury claim.

It will be extremely difficult to fight the insurance company and receive the compensation you are owed without this documentation from the police officer.

While you are waiting for the police to arrive on scene, you can be proactive and take photos of the damage and position of the vehicles.

We even recommend photographing any visible injuries you sustained in the crash.

Also, if there were any witnesses to the wreck, gather their contact information because their statements may end up being valuable if the insurance company attempts to deny fault.

The negligence from a truck driver or trucking company, may cause fatal crashes.

A large truck or tractor trailer that collides with a passenger vehicle can cause serious injuries and even fatalities.

There are several common injuries that can be sustained in a truck crash.

Common types of truck accident injuries range from back and neck injuries, spinal cord injury, brain injury, head injuries, and other serious injuries.

1. Always call the police and have an accident report filled out.

2. Take pictures with your cell phone if possible.

3. Call Arrowhead Clinics to get your injuries treated and documented immediately with a chiropractor or medical doctor.
