Future Problems of Chronic Pain
There are a variety of claims you can make after a car accident. A claim will be based on what happens in a specific accident. For example, a claim will have multiple categories of claims if your car was damaged, or if you, your passengers, or anyone else is injured or hurt, and if you lose wages because you are unable to work as you recover from an accident.
Pain After a Car Accident
Introduction
Can a minor impact cause pain?
Minor impacts can cause pain due to the physics of motion being sent through the occupants of the vehicle that was hit. Many people do not realize the amount of G forces that can go through a persons body when they are hit at even a low MPH. Depending on how much you weigh, how much the car you in weighs and what the weight and speed of the car that hits you is can all determine the amount of G force experienced in a crash. Cars are meant to collapse at high speeds, but low speeds will not destroy a car. It may even appear that there is no damage at all due to how they have made the bumpers. However, if the car appears to have no damage and it does not absorb the impact then the force is transferred through the car to the occupants in it.
What kinds of pain are to be expected after a car accident?
There may be many kinds of aches and pains after an accident. Some common ones are headaches, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, leg pain, and more. Many people may experience some jaw pain and even wrist or ankle pain.

Chronic Pain
Introduction
Chronic pain usually occurs when short term or acute pain, becomes a long-lasting problem (Months to years)
How Long does the Pain Last after a Car Accident?
Pain can last anywhere from a few weeks to many months. Depending on the severity of your injuries, pre-existing conditions, it can influence your ability to fully recover. The goal of treatment should always be to get you to the best recovery possible. Meaning that you are back to your abilities and pain levels before the accident. A good medical team will do everything they can to get you to the best possible condition.
Where should I go to get Treatment after a Car Accident?
If you are in severe pain directly after the accident, we encourage you to go to the hospital. Even if you are in pain in the 24 hours after your accident, you should visit an Urgent Care Facility or the Emergency Room.
If you have pain that is less intense, discomfort, or stiffness we encourage you to find a chiropractor near you that specializes in auto accident recovery. Car accident injuries are not like other injuries, and there are specific ways to treat your injuries that will help you make a better recovery and a faster recovery.
I thought I was fine after my accident but it's been a while, and I need help what do I do?
We encourage you to reach out to a medical provider, a rehabilitation specialist, or a chiropractor as soon as possible. The sooner you can start treatment, the sooner you can start feeling better. Also, seeing a medical provider and starting treatment as soon as possible will improve the outcome of your claims, or any case if you need to sue your insurance company.
What if I Can't Work?
If you are struggling with pain, and you are unable to work, we encourage working with an attorney to make sure you are filing a claim to cover any wage loss. We also recommend finding the right medical team to help you to the right steps to recover and feel better.
What if I can't Clean my House?
If you are struggling with everyday tasks then you may be compensated, or paid by your insurance company to hire someone who can help you while you recover. This is an expense that should be covered by your policy depending on your specific policy coverage, and your specific needs. If you need any help with this claim or getting assistance we encourage you to work with an attorney who can help you understand your rights, and help you get the resources and support you need to take care of basic tasks like, cleaning your house, doing laundry, etc.
