Insurance Claims & Accident Attorneys

What Are My Rights?

As a victim under California law, you have the right to a settlement to repair any property damage like your car. You also have the right to loss of wages, as well as damages for medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering. You have the right to make decisions concerning your case, including whether to accept or reject any offer of settlement.

You do not need to get a car accident attorney in most cases, although they will make it much easier. It is also important that you document your case well. This includes your injuries. Remember, if it is not documented it did not happen. This is why it is so important that you find a chiropractor that not only understands the injury mechanics involved in whiplash, as well as, how to document it.

Finding the right chiropractor in Concord can be huge! So much depends on it. Primarily your health. First and foremost you need a doctor that specializes in spinal correction. Not just pain relief. If the problem is not corrected properly, you will have problems n the future. Secondly, you need a doctor that has training as an expert witness. Remember, if it is not documented, it did not happen. If your injuries are not documented correctly, the value of your case will be compromised.
