Call The Police
It's always important to contact the police after an accident occurs. Even if you were just a passenger, you need police documentation stating who was at fault for the accident. This way, you will know which insurance company to go after for any medical expense reimbursement that you may be entitled to.
Speak to Eyewitnesses
If there were any witnesses to the accident, find out if they will provide a written statement regarding what they saw. Ask for their name and contact information in case you need them to recount what they saw at a later date.
Take Pictures of the Accident
It's always a good idea to have pictures of the accident scene. Effective evidence photographs include weather conditions, the damages of all the vehicles involved, any other property damage resulting from the accident, and any visible injuries. It's unfortunate, but it's not uncommon for the other driver or their insurance company to try and diminish the extent of the damages that occurred.
See a Medical Professional
If involved in a rideshare accident, whether you were the passenger or the driver, it's imperative that you visit a health care provider. Even if you do not think you have sustained any injuries, it is still crucial to see a chiropractor. Their experience and skills will be able to detect injuries before a patient even starts experiencing symptoms. They will also be able to provide necessary medical documentation that your lawyer will be able to use to get you your due compensation.
Hire a Car Accident Attorney
Anytime you are the victim of someone else's negligent or reckless behavior, you should seek the help of an experienced personal injury attorney. Legal representation will be able to walk you through the compensation claim process, obtain all necessary documentation, and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf for an agreeable settlement.
Why Chiropractic Care May Be Right for You
We talked a lot about seeking medical attention after an Uber or Lyft Accident, so you may be wondering whom you should see to help diagnose and treat your injuries.
Various factors play into why chiropractic care may be the best treatment for a successful recovery.
Cost-Effective
Chiropractic care is frequently more cost-effective as opposed to other forms of health care.
Attorney Referral
If the injured party was not responsible, a car accident attorney can file a claim against the responsible driver for your medical costs. They will fight for compensation for loss of income, emotional distress, or damaged property. A personal injury attorney keeps you from paying out of pocket for all your injury expenses. Your chiropractor can give you an attorney referral.
Highly-Trained Doctors
Chiropractic doctors are highly trained in diagnosing and treating problems with the musculoskeletal system, and the chiropractors at Arrowhead Clinic have many years of experience doing just that.
Effective Treatments
Chiropractors perform spinal manipulations, better known as chiropractic adjustments, to help restore any restricted movement in the joints or tissues.
Restoring proper mobility to the joints will help alleviate pain and soreness and allow the body to heal naturally without surgery.
Relief to Injuries
Many injuries during an automobile accident, such as whiplash, back, disc herniation, or neck injuries, will often heal much faster with chiropractic treatment.
Treating the Source
Chiropractors treat the injury at the source and never offer patients something that will only mask the pain for a short time, such as prescription pain medications.
A chiropractor believes that healing should take place by treating the root cause, not the symptom, helping to improve your overall quality of life.
