Knowing Your Worth and Getting the Compensation You Deserve
Insurance adjusters may be friendly, but if you are filing a personal injury claim, these people are not your friends. The insurer should pay the amount you need to cover medical bills, property damages, and loss of wages due to your accident, but that isn’t how things work in the real world. An insurance adjuster works to ensure their employer, the insurance company, pays as little as possible on every claim that comes across their desk. They are notorious for denials and delays that leave injured parties feeling overwhelmed and defeated.

Avoid the Worst Nursing Homes in Colorado

Soft Tissue Injuries Can Last Long After the First Hospital Visit
Although not as dramatic as fractured bones, concussions, or deep cuts, soft tissue injuries sustained in accidents can cause long-term health problems. Because soft tissue injuries affect the connective tissue between bones and muscles, they can limit your range of motion, flexibility, ability to sit or sleep comfortably, and cause chronic pain. After a car accident or slip and fall, it is vital that you speak to a medical professional to determine the full extent of your injuries.
How Is a Broken Bone Treated?

The Lowdown on Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peripheral nerve injury can cause pain, weakness, and numbness, usually in the hands or feet. It affects nerves in the body lying outside of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves are responsible for movement and sensation, as well as function of the glands and organs.
What Is an Orthopedic Injury?
Structurally, our skeletons define us in a way that is both good and bad. Childbirth is harder with narrow, upright hips, but being able to use our arms has essentially allowed us to develop civilization. Bones are the body’s framework, joints and connective tissue hold them in place, and muscles allow the parts to move.
Orthopedic injuries are trauma or systemic damage, whether through disease or genetics, that affect this frame: bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscle. A broken bone may not seem that bad, but it can be terrible for you in the wrong situation. Untreated fractures and open wounds can lead to infection, compartment syndrome, and worse.
In short, these are serious injuries, and they need to be taken seriously. Especially by the people whose negligent actions caused them.
Do You Have an “Actionable” Personal Injury Case?
If you have been injured and believe someone else is to blame, you may wonder whether you have a personal injury case.
