Bill Green and the experienced team at The Green Law Firm can help you navigate the confusing and ease the burden after your car accident. We are here for you when you need a hand 24/7.
If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, you may be feeling scared, overwhelmed and worried about the future. How long will it take to feel better? Will insurance cover the cost of the medical bills that are piling up? How will your car accident injuries affect any legal action you might be taking? You may be wondering what kind of compensation you can receive based on the car accident injuries you’ve sustained. Help is here. The single most common question relating to vehicular accident injuries has to do with money. It’s understandable why. The injuries sustained from your car accident can lead to huge, unexpected and intimidating bills. You may wonder if the health insurance you already have will cover the cost of your bills. What about your car insurance, will that help too? We wish we could give you a clear answer but, unfortunately, it’s a little more complex than that.
Here are a few things to consider when understanding how your health insurance can/will cover your medical expenses after a car accident.

The principle is simple. Objects in motion stay in motion… till their movement is stopped. When you are in a moving car and that movement is stopped abruptly, it is likely some part of you will be injured in some way. Whether you make impact with a safety restraint (like a seat belt or air bag) or parts of the car itself, your injuries will depend on the intensity of force with which your car is hit and a dozen other factors. While cars have gotten safer and safer through the years, impact can still cause major and sometimes even fatal, injuries. The most common types of injuries sustained in car accidents include:
Whiplash is an injury to the neck’s soft tissue, muscles, ligaments and spinal discus. It is most commonly caused by rear-end collisions and may cause chronic pain, memory issues and problems with sleep and concentration.
An exceptionally common injury associated with a car accident is some degree of back pain. Damage to the spinal discs, spinal cord or vertebrae can result in chronic pain or alternative debilitating issues. Severe injuries in this area such as a spinal cord injury (SCI), can limit body functioning.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury that results in physical damage to the brain like bruising, bleeding or tearing. While a concussion is a kind of mild TBI that heals itself within a short period of time, the many TBI injuries cause debilitating problems.
A common kind of injury associated with car accidents are broken bones and fractures. Arms, legs, collarbones and ribs can all be broken upon impact. While the majority of broken bones are uncomfortable and inconvenient, if bone dysplasia has occurred or multiple ribs are fractured, internal organs may be injured and compromised.
While bruises (contusions) and cuts (lacerations) are soft tissue injuries that heal relatively easily, those that are more serious may result in deep tissue or organ issues.
The most important thing to remember is that many injuries develop over time. What may seem like “no big deal” at the time of a crash can quickly turn into a debilitating injury leaving you unable to work or navigate through life with ease.
The only word you need to remember when you’ve been in a car accident is… help.
Help from… a doctor. Make sure your medical needs are attended to without delay! Don’t think you are hurt? It is better to be safe than sorry!
Help… yourself. Make sure you are protecting your case by collecting all the information and evidence you can at the scene and not talking to anyone representing the other party. Do not admit fault, and be your own advocate!
Help… from an attorney. Car accidents are complex, scary and overwhelming. The most effective thing you can do to make your life easier is to hire an experienced legal team to work for you!
