Auto Repair Shops |
| |
You
need to be very careful in selecting an auto body repair shop.
The body shop must know how to deal with insurance companies
and, most importantly, provide you with high quality, reasonably
priced repairs. There are many shops to choose from, sometimes
including the dealer, but plenty have questionable reputations.

Chiropractors
|
| |
After
accidents, many people choose to consult a licensed chiropractor
if they have sustained injuries. Chiropractors diagnose and
treat patients whose problems are associated with the body's
muscular, nervous and skeletal systems. As
do other Health Practitioners, Chiropractors first secure
important information needed for diagnosis and treatment.
They obtain the patient's medical history, order x-rays and
conduct physical and orthopedic examinations. Chiropractors
can provide care and relief for many injuries involving the
neck and back. However, as with anyone who is treating your
body, you should check the qualifications of the chiropractor
in question and become comfortable with your choice.

Physicians
|
| |
Different
types Physicians treat the various injuries caused by accidents.
Orthopedic Physicians are specialists in the care and treatment
of serious bone injuries including bulge and ruptures of the
disks that support the spine. General Practitioners and Urgent
Care Physicians are usually equipped to determine which, if
any, medical specialist you should consult. Sometimes a General
Practitioner will decide to prescribe physical therapy or
chiropractic care. However, as is the case with anyone who
is treating your body, you should check the qualifications
of the health care providers in question and become comfortable
with your choice.

Hospitals
& Clinics |
| |
Most
major metropolitan areas have urgent care facilities in some
form or another. These are usually staffed by physicians and
nurses trained in urgent care. Many are designed to serve
the needs of a badly injured patient. However, an injury does
not have to be life threatening or dangerously serious to
warrant a visit such a facility. To the contrary, if you are
unsure of the severity of your injury, see a doctor immediately.

Pharmacies
|
| |
In
the event of an injury, your doctor may prescribe medication
for pain or stiffness. It is important to have these prescriptions
filled at a Pharmacy you can trust. There are many Pharmacies
to choose from, so you need to select the pharmacy very
carefully.

Mediators |
| |
Lawsuits
are expensive for everyone, and mediation can save the parties
a lot of time and money by making a lawsuit unnecessary. Mediators
charge fees (usually by the hour), but the parties can split
these fees and, in any event, they are much lower than the total
fees the parties would have to pay their lawyers to litigate
the case.

Car
Dealers |

You
may have no choice but to buy a new car if you've been in an
accident. Shopping around at different new and pre-owned car
dealers is a good idea to investigate your options and get a
good deal.
