If you or someone you know was recently involved in a motor vehicle accident, no matter how small, and you or they are feeling pain, you or they should consult with a doctor even if the damage to your vehicle is small. Many times, if the damage to your vehicle is less than $1000 and you go to the doctor, the insurance company will try to discredit your injuries. Do not allow this to happen!
In an article published in 2005, titled, “Correlating Crash Severity With Injury Risk, Injury Severity, and Long-term Symptoms in Low Velocity Motor Vehicle Collisions,” Arthur C. Croft and Michael D. Freeman found a very limited correlation between injury claims and crash severity. What this means is that there is no statistically significant correlation between a person’s injuries and crash severity. For example, if a person is involved in a small or minor motor vehicle accident, the person may be severely injured as a result of the minor accident which resulted in less than $1000.00 in property damage to the person’s vehicle. On the other hand, there could be significant damages to a vehicle (causing a total loss) and no injuries to the person. We have all heard of stories where individuals are involved in very bad car accident and they are able to walk away with no scratches on them.
The law of conservation of linear momentum states that energy is not lost at the point of impact rather it transfers along a linear plane. This means that if you are rear-ended by another vehicle, the energy applied to your vehicle is not lost after the impact but may shift to the individuals in the vehicle resulting in significant injuries to those individuals. Thus, if you or someone you know was involved in a minor or small car accident, you should seek medical attention for those injuries. Next, you should also call us to help. We are experienced in these types of car accidents and handle hundreds of these each year. Do not let the insurance company discredit your injuries no matter how small the accident. Let us fight the insurance company and have them compensate you for your injuries.
