After an accident, most people want to get things settled and get on with their lives. This is certainly understandable, but it's not always the best route to a healthy future. Back injuries are some of the painful injuries, and, unfortunately, they're also some of the most likely in an accident.
Insurance companies rely on the fact that back injuries are often hard to diagnose and are often delayed in presenting themselves. In addition, if you went to the emergency room, or even your regular family doctor after your accident, you were most likely given pain medication. The dangerous issue here is that pain medication can actually mask your back injury, leading you to believe that your injuries are insignificant.
This is when the insurance companies strike--while you're on pain medication and feeling better after the initial accident. They know that the likely soft-tissue injuries beneath the surface will not be obvious for a while. At Peterson Law Offices, we've worked with thousands of accident victims in Oregon and southern Washington to help them learn the full extent of their injuries and demand a fair settlement.
Don't be lulled into a false sense of security or recovery just because your back feels OK immediately after an accident. Let Todd Peterson and the rest of our staff have you properly diagnosed by a specialist so you can prevent further injury to your back and a serious injury to your wallet. Get the back injury settlement you deserve. Don't wait--call us today at 503-280-0888.
