Baton Rouge Car Wreck Lawyers
Your Minor Injuries May Be More Serious Than You Think
The fact that you walked away from a crash does not mean you weren't injured. The fact that your vehicle sustained little damage does not mean that you are not hurt. Many car accident victims mistakenly believe they must have visible injuries or severe injuries to make a personal injury claim.
Gordon McKernan and the McKernan Law Firm know that little accidents can turn into lasting disability. A stiff neck turns out to be a fractured vertebra. A sore back later requires disk surgery. A headache or dizziness lingers and gets worse. A wrist injury never heals.
We have secured million-dollar verdicts for catastrophic injuries, but we also have a solid record of outstanding recoveries for "minor injuries" that turn out to be quite serious. Our legal team can help you get proper medical assessment and full compensation for the long-term impact. Contact us online or toll free at 877-247-3310. We handle cases in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, throughout Louisiana, and in Mississippi and Texas.
Commonly Overlooked Injuries in Car Accidents
You should always seek medical treatment for any lingering symptoms of a motor vehicle accident, no matter how minor they seem. The physicians we work with tell us that some of the worst injuries occur in low-speed accidents, especially when the victim's vehicle is at a full stop before a rear-end collision.
Gordon McKernan and his legal team work with your doctors, physical therapist, chiropractor and other professionals to document the lasting pain and disabling symptoms to ensure you are fully compensated. We have a proven record of success for soft tissue damage and other injuries from initially overlooked injuries in car accidents, such as:
- Concussion and other brain injury
- Herniated and ruptured disks
- Lower back strains
- TMJ or jaw injuries
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Nerve damage
- Bone fractures
- Knee injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Impaired vision
