Personal Injury refers to an injury occurring to you where you are not at fault and the injury incurred is the direct result of someone else’s negligence. Some examples of personal injuries are motor vehicle accidents, trips, slips or falls.  Personal injury law seeks compensation for the victim for injuries incurred due to the negligent actions of the defendant. 

Seeking chiropractic care after a car accident is extremely important because it drastically increases your chances of making a full recovery and not suffering long term damage to the spine and other associated soft tissue. Furthermore, the absence of symptoms shortly after the accident does not indicate a lack of injury, in fact it has been shown that any car accident over 6mph causes ligament damage within the spine. For these reasons, seeking chiropractic care immediately following a personal injury accident should be your first priority!

Chiropractors are one of the most sought after practitioners for personal injuries due to our understanding of the musculoskeletal system and ability to make the necessary referrals to other practitioners as well as order further diagnostic imaging.
