During pregnancy there is always a concern that any medical
treatment will adversely affect the health of the unborn child. If you
have been injured in a car accident or other accident while you are pregnant,
there are still many treatment options to help you get better. With back
strain and other soft tissue injuries, you can be placed on a special table
which many chiropractors have that has an opening for your growing belly.
Network chiropractic, especially, is a form of non-invasive chiropractic which
many people feel is safe during pregnancy. An issue that arises with back
strain after a car accident in a pregnant woman, is whether or not the pain is
related to the car accident or to the pregnancy.
7/16/06 Back strain from accidents often end up as a serious case of
disc bulge
Many times, at our Oregon and Washington
injury law firm, we see, in car accident and other injury cases, that what
starts out as being diagnosed by a chiropractor or MD as a simple back strain,
eventually is revealed to be a serious condition called a disc bulge. A
disc bulge is when a piece of spinal disc tissue bulges out from the spinal
chord. This condition often requires surgery, although there are
non-surgical methods that can be used to cure it. A diagnosis of a disc
bulge will greatly increase the value of your case, since the adjusters know
that the pain and cure are much greater in scale than a simple back strain.
Often, when a chiropractor or doctor, sees no improvement in a car accident
victim, in Oregon and Washington, they will recommend that an MRI be taken
to see if the injured person has a disk bulge or not. This fact is yet
another reason why an accident victim has it in there best interest never to
rush a settlement with the insurance company. In our opinion, you will get
more money and do less work if you hire an experienced Oregon personal injury lawyer to handle your disc bulge car accident claim.
6 /16/06 Bicycle Accidents in Portland Oregon mainly on arterial roads
This is an excerpt from the Oregonian article "Cyclists will have streets to
call their own". "In fact, 80 percent of bike crashes from 1995 to 2004
occurred on the arterials and other busy streets, even though most streets in
the city are residential, according to Mark Lear, the city's traffic
investigation manager". If you've been a victim of a bicycle accident
crash in Portland OR, we can help you fight the insurance company that insured
the vehicle that hit you. Often the insurance company takes the position
that the bicyclist was at fault no matter what. If you were obeying Oregon bike traffic laws at the time of the accident, we can help you get
the documentation you with your insurance claim while you recover. In our
opinion, you will get more money and do less work than if you don't use an Oregon bicycle accident lawyer.
6/2/06 Car Accidents Involving Pregnant Women In Oregon and
Washington
Car accidents in Oregon and Washington often involve
women who are pregnant. The pregnancy of the car accident
victim may be affected or even terminated due to the violent motion
of the body as a car suddenly stops or changes directions during an
accident. It is important to get examined by a doctor as soon
as possible after any accident in order to document that any
injuries are related to the auto accident. This is especially
true in pregnancy related car accident cases in Oregon and
Washington State. The health of the child, who is in the womb
of the car accident victim, may later be affected by the car
accident. An assessment by a medical practitioner of whether the
child was injured, is extremely important in these birth related car
accident claims, in our opinion. This evaluation will document
the extent of any injuries for the insurance company and will help
the car accident victim get the maximum amount of money for their auto accident claim. If you were pregnant and a victim of a
car accident in OR or WA, contact us now for a free consultation.
