INJURY?

Things
To Do Immediately After An Injury
-
Make sure
you immediately attend to your injuries.
-
Schedule
an exam with a chiropractor within 24 hours of a fall, accident,
or injury. Even if you feel your injuries are minor, a consultation
with one of our doctors is always done at no charge.
-
Report
an accident to the police and your own insurance company.
If the injury occurred on someone else's property, immediately
notify the owner, landlord, or manager of the property.
-
Consult
with an attorney. Make sure you understand your rights. Most
attorneys will provide an initial consultation at no charge.
We will be happy to provide a list of attorneys with extensive
experience.
-
Call a
skilled chiropractor who understands the unique injuries caused
by auto accidents. Salama Chiropractic Center has been serving
Greensboro for over 5 years. Since we never charge for a consultation
with a doctor, there is no reason not to schedule an appointment
after every accident or injury.
-
Do not
give statements about the accident to anyone other than the
police.
-
Do not
miss your scheduled medical/chiropractic appointments. Doing
so may create the false impression that your injuries were
not serious; that you weren't making your best effort to get
well; or that you made your injuries worse by failing to adhere
to the recommended treatment.
-
Do not
sign any documents from your insurance company without consulting
with an attorney. Many insurance companies will quickly try
to get you to sign a release from further liability by offering
a small amount of money (usually a few hundred dollars). Once
a release is signed, you can't go back and ask for more, even
if you're still hurt, or get worse (which may happen if your
injuries are left untreated).
-
Do not
allow the liability insurance company to review your medical
records without consulting an attorney.
"GETTING
BETTER IS NO ACCIDENT"
The
Most Serious Mistakes To Avoid After An Accident
The
8 Most Serious Mistakes You Can Make If You Have Just Been
Injured Or Have Been In An Automobile Accident
Mistake
#1: Failing to seek immediate treatment from
a doctor after an accident.
Each year, 10% of the population will be involved in an automobile accident.
20% of all accidents lead to SERIOUS and long-term injuries, yet 30% of those
involved never seek treatment.
Mistake
#2: Taking pain medications and muscle relaxers
to mask an injury.
Pain is your body's alarm bell telling you something is wrong. Masking pain
with medication is like taking the batteries out of the smoke detector. You
are turning off the alarm instead of putting out the fire.
Mistake
#3: Not treating the cause of your pain after
an accident.
Drugs only mask your pain for a few hours. When they wear off, your symptoms
return. In our clinics, we put 100% of our focus on reducing your pain by focusing
on the cause of your pain. This approach has helped thousands of our patients
to heal properly.
Mistake
#4: Not consulting with a skilled professional
who specializes in fast, effective pain relief for injuries
caused by automobile accidents, work-related injuries, and
other minor trauma.
Mistake
#5: Not making a Chiropractic visit your top
priority after an accident.
Chiropractic focuses on correcting the cause of your pain, not simply "covering
it up."
Mistake
#6: Not understanding that Auto Insurance usually
pays for treatment without up-front fees.
Our office will work with your attorney, insurance adjuster, or private insurance
company, to avoid payment of services out of your pocket.
Mistake
#7: Confusing what's most urgent with what's
most important.
So many people focus their entire lives on what's urgent at the moment, instead
of focusing on what's most important. Make sure scheduling a consultation at
one of our offices carries the utmost importance.
Mistake
#8: Procrastinating after an accident.
Why procrastinate if you are in pain? Call the office most convenient for you
TODAY! A consultation with the doctor is always at no charge, and we can better
assess your needs after speaking with you.
