Personal Injury Q & A
What is personal injury?
Personal injury is any type of accident that results in harm to your body. If you suffered a personal injury, a second party may be responsible for your injuries due to their intent or their negligence.
Some types of personal injury include:
- Automobile accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Falling or slipping
- Workplace accident
- Product liability
- Animal or dog bites
When you suffer a personal injury, you may be involved in a lawsuit in which you attempt to receive financial compensation for your present injuries, future complications, and mental distress. Dr. Naik and his team have experience working with personal injury lawyers so that you get the paperwork you need to document the full extent of your injuries as well as the treatments you need to remedy them.
What should I do when I have a personal injury?
Even if you’ve been admitted to and treated at a hospital for your personal injuries, you’d benefit from a follow-up orthopedic exam. Some types of injuries, especially soft-tissue injuries, may not become apparent for days or months after the initial accident. The shock of an accident triggers your body to release endorphins and other chemicals that dull pain, so you don’t even notice that you’ve been hurt.
If you weren’t admitted to a hospital, it’s even more essential to consult an orthopedist after your accident. You could have hairline fractures or soft-tissue injuries that could develop complications if not treated in time. You also need to document any and all injuries in a timely fashion if you plan to file a lawsuit against the negligent party.
What happens when I undergo a personal injury exam?
Dr. Naik tailors your examination based on the kind of accident you suffered, the type of injuries you sustained, and your present symptoms. During his examination, he looks for evidence of:
- Fractures
- Dislocations
- Strains
- Sprains
- Contusions
- Impaired mobility
He takes care to identify all sources of potential pain or disability so that you can get treated right away. Ignoring symptoms or allowing an injury to persist without treatment can cause severe complications, including permanent loss of mobility.
