WHY HIRE SPINNER LAW FIRM FOR YOUR AUTO ACCIDENT?

Hiring the right attorney for your auto accident is critical. At Spinner Law Firm, we put our approximately 50 years of combined experience handling serious car accidents to work for you. : 1. Experience with Insurance Companies First, insurance companies build their brand with light-hearted television commercials to create the false impression that they will take care of you when you have a claim. Nothing could be further from the truth. Insurance claims are a business, and insurance companies are in it to make money. They profit from paying you as little as possible. To do this, they often employ claims adjusting tactics aimed at minimizing your injuries and tricking you into saying things that are potentially damaging to your claim.

COMMON INJURIES IN CAR ACCIDENT CASES

Spinal injuries The forces of a car accident can cause injuries to the spine in the neck or back. Serious spine trauma can result in herniated discs, disc fractures, and even nerve compression. Often, car crash victims get better after a course of therapeutic treatment. In more serious cases, patients require additional types of treatment, including injections, and even spine surgery. If you feel you were injured as a result of a car crash, it is important that you get medical assistance right away. Brain injuries Car crashes often create enough force to cause a traumatic brain injury. Even if you haven’t hit your head, the extreme forces or whiplash created by the crash can injure the brain. Common types of brain injuries include concussions, post-concussion syndrome, and traumatic brain injuries. Importantly, concussions often serve as precursors to traumatic brain injuries, as well as seizures, headaches, dizziness, inability to concentrate, loss of memory, depression, and anxiety. Brain injuries are often difficult to diagnose and may not be immediately evident. Shoulder and arm injuries Gripping the steering wheel in anticipation of impact, or the force of airbag deployment can cause injuries to the shoulder and arms. Common Shoulder and arm injuries include lacerations, sprains, strains, fractures, and dislocations. Often, shoulder injuries are not immediately evident, especially in situations where an accident victim injures their neck. Psychological injuries Not all injuries caused by a car crash are physical. A car crash can be emotionally tragic and result in long-term emotional trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.

WHAT IS MY CAR ACCIDENT CASE WORTH?

As you proceed through the medical treatment process and begin accruing medical bills and other financial damages, you may wonder “how much is my case worth?” Simply stated, under Florida Law, a car accident victim may be entitled to recover both economic damages, and general damages. Economic Damages Economic damages include things like medical bills, loss of wages from not being able to work, and out-of-pocket expenses for services to clean and maintain your home. General or Non-Economic Damages General, or non-economic damages, include pain and suffering that you experience as a result of your injuries. In order to qualify for general damages, there must be evidence that you sustained a “permanent injury” as a result of the car crash.
