Back & neck injuries
Herniated discs, sprains and strains: the most common crash injuries, and the most disputed.
What to do
- Get imaging if your doctor recommends it (X-ray, MRI)
- Follow physical therapy plans; gaps are used against you
- Tell every provider about every symptom, including numbness or tingling
Why records matter
Insurers look for three things: a prompt visit, consistent complaints and a clear doctor’s opinion that the crash caused the injury. Gaps or inconsistencies become arguments to pay less.
Medical note: this is general information, not medical advice. Follow your doctors.
What the claim can include
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain, suffering and limits on daily life
