In the past 5 years, I have had several conversations with people about the differences and benefits of receiving physical therapy versus chiropractic care following a personal injury and how this decision affects a personal injury case. Many doctors who I work with believe that Physical Therapy is trending, and that it is a more respected form of therapy than is chiropractic care. Some of these doctors even happen to be chiropractors!! It is my belief that both types of treatment work and personally, I have no problem having either chiropractic care or physical therapy on any of my cases. There are, however, several differences that people should know about.

One of the main factors that goes into determining whether or not you have a “good case”, after getting into a car accident, is the quality of the insurance company that the person who caused the accident has. The exact same accident claim will have two completely different values depending on the insurance company paying the claim.

Over the course of my almost 19 years of practice, I have been contacted numerous times by companies that want to market my law firm on the internet or send me potential clients from a 1-800 call center. Like everyone else out there, sure, I would love to expand my business, but at what cost is the risk worth the reward?

Often times I will ask my clients to get me their medical records either from a hospital, clinic or radiology facility. While I do not like to inconvenience my clients, this practice can often save the client anywhere from twenty five dollars up to several hundreds of dollars in the long run. Medical providers are now charging ridiculous rates to copy and mail out their records. While they are regulated by the state as to how much they can legally charge, these fees are always much higher than anyone would expect to obtain their medical records.

Often times when people are involved in a bad car accident, it is possible that your car could be a total loss. What exactly does that mean? Well, it means that the cost to fix your car exceeds the current book value of your car.
