HOW LONG SHOULD I BE SORE AFTER A SACRAMENTO CAR CRASH?

Posted on Monday, April 20th, 2020 at 10:20 pm    

Being in a car crash can cause a variety of injuries. Even if a person is not seriously injured, the soreness caused by cars colliding can linger for several days or weeks following an accident. When should an accident victim become worried about soreness after a Sacramento car crash?

When to See a Doctor after a Sacramento Car Crash?

It is a good idea to be checked by a physician after being involved in a car accident. The adrenaline “high” many victims experience after a crash can mask injury symptoms. Also, some injuries may not present symptoms for a few hours or days after a collision. Only a doctor can diagnose car accident injuries correctly.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to tell when soreness could indicate a more severe injury. Everyone heals after a car accident at their own pace. However, if the soreness persists, becomes worse, you have trouble breathing, or experience any unexplained symptoms, you may want to contact a medical provider immediately.

Some factors that could impact your recovery time include:

  • The type of collision, such as a rear-end collision, side-impact crash, or rollover crash.
  • Whether vehicle safety features engaged, including the seatbelt, front airbags, and side airbags.
  • Speed of each vehicle at the time of the collision.
  • The types of vehicles involved. Larger vehicles tend to cause more severe injuries for the passengers of smaller vehicles.
  • The type and severity of the injury.
  • The person’s overall health condition at the time of the accident.

Car accidents can cause a variety of injuries. Some injuries may heal with time and rest. Other injuries may require minimal medical intervention. However, some injuries may require intensive medical care, including surgery, therapy, and weeks or months of recovery.

The best way to protect your health after a car accident is to seek medical attention as soon as possible. When your health is stable, contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your options for recovering compensation for car accident injuries.

How Much Is My Sacramento Car Crash Claim Worth?

The value of a car accident claim depends on the facts in the case. There is no formula for calculating the value of a personal injury claim. It is based on factors such as the person’s injuries, medical bills, loss of income, and determination of fault for causing the accident.

A personal injury lawyer investigates the accident to gather evidence proving the other driver was responsible for causing the crash. This step is essential if you want to recover compensation for your injuries. You cannot receive money for the claim from the other driver’s insurance unless you can prove that the driver caused the crash.

Your attorney also helps you document your damages. You must also prove that you sustained damages as a direct cause of the car crash. Common damages caused by a car crash include:

  • Medical expenses and costs
  • Loss of income
  • Physical pain
  • Travel expenses
  • Emotional suffering
  • Permanent impairments and disabilities

I sat down and met with Jelena Tiemann about my vehicle accident.I presented all of my documentation to her in which she gave me her assessment.Although the Tiemann Law Firm wont be representing me because my settlement offer was pretty good she was very clear,forward and professional about what she felt could and couldn't be done.I recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a helping hand at fighting a case where you don't have to worry about the outcome not going in your favor. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

The Tiemanns were referred to me by a friend and I am exceptionally happy with the service I received. I had never been in an accident before. I had no idea what to do. Jelena verbally explained how everything would work to me, and she and Peter handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger once. They went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful. I pray I won't ever need this type of assistance again, but I will definitely be referring them to friends and family.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

Thank you so much for all of the hard work and time you have put into my case, we greatly appreciate it and your friendship. We highly recommend this firm and will always be thankful for everything they have done. Thank you so much again, Kim

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
