La Mesa Personal Injury | Motor Vehicle Accident Injury
La Mesa auto injury
Auto accidents cause a host of physical problems and when left unaddressed, these problems often lead to chronic pain dysfunction, arthritis, and degeneration years down the line. There's a tremendous weight differential between a human being and a motor vehicle. Because of this, the human body accelerates at a higher rate of speed upon impact than the actual MPH the automobile is traveling. Hence, the person inside the car absorbs the impact and often sustains physical damage to their body, even when the vehicle remains unharmed. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident, it is crucial to consult with an experienced motor vehicle accident chiropractor who is specifically trained to identify injuries that often go unseen in an ER or GP visit. These injuries include whiplash, sprains, disc bulges, disc herniations, ligament and muscle tearing.

FAQs
Personal injury in La Mesa
Q: What if my car sustained only minor damage?
Documented studies by Charles Carroll, MD reveal that "The amount of damage to the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical spine (neck) of the occupants." In other words, the damage to the passengers is not necessarily related to the damage to the vehicle.
Q: If I need treatment for this injury, do I have to pay for it myself?
No. Only in very rare circumstances does the patient pay for their care as they go. After a motor vehicle accident, you are almost always entitled to care, fully covered by either your auto insurance company or the auto insurance of the other driver. Some car insurance policies have what's called "MedPay." This means that your medical bills will be paid at 100% up to a certain limit. We can assist you in obtaining this information. Using your medpay will not raise your premiums.
Q: The insurance company has been calling me and wants to settle, what should I do?
We advise not signing or settling until you are evaluated properly by a chiropractor specifically trained in personal injury. If you settle before your injury is fully resolved, you will no longer be eligible for care. You would then be required to pay out of pocket should your pain or symptoms worsen in the future, because the underlying dysfunction was never detected and corrected from the beginning following a motor vehicle accident.
