Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: What if my car sustains only minor damage? A:
Documented studies done by
specialists Charles Carroll, M.D. Paul McAtee, M.D. and Lee Riley, M.D. revealed
that: “The amount of damage to the automobile bears
little relation to the force applied to the cervical neck (spine) of the
occupants. In other words, the severity of the injury to the
passengers is not necessarily directly related to the damage of the vehicle.
Most insurance adjusters love to convince you differently. Be careful! Q:
I definitely feel injured from my
accident; however, I have a history of related types of aches and pains, and
records of treatment. Does this harm my case? A:
No. This is why you need to see a
specialist who is familiar with this circumstance. There is always a reason why
you feel injured or differently following an accident. My job is to identify
specifically your new injury or the flare-up of an old one. Q. Do
you need an attorney? A:
It is always important to take care
of your well being as soon as possible. First priority is to get checked by a
doctor and begin, if needed, the appropriate treatment. After that, you will
have enough information to decide if you want to hire an attorney or not. Remember, the responsible party’s insurance company
has many attorneys, usually very good ones. You may need all the protection you
can get. This can be done before or after treatment. If necessary, we can refer
you to a reputable and qualified attorney. Q:
If I need treatment for this
injury, do I have to pay for it myself as the treatment is rendered? A:
No. Only in extreme rare
circumstances does the patient pay for their care as it is rendered. No matter
who is at fault in the accident, you are still entitled to benefits under your
car insurance policy. If you have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) on your
policy, this means your medical bills will be paid 100% up to a specific amount
based on your policy limit. My office manager can assist you in obtaining this
information. Using your PIP will not raise your rates. However, if you do not
have a PIP on your policy, then we will accept an attorney lien on the case.
This allows you to get treatment and then have the bill paid when your case is
settled. Again, feel free to call. My office manager can help you with this
information. Q: Does your treatment hurt? A: Absolutely not. I specialize in advanced care for both children and adults. My therapies are very gentle and quite soothing. Most patients can hardly wait to get their care. Q: Is your care safe? A:
Yes, extremely. Particularly when compared to the side efforts of overly prescribed
medications and/or inappropriate use of surgery.
