Steps To Take after an Accident

Be sure to research and find a doctor who has worked with a number of insurance companies and knows how to document a case from a treatment perspective. The car insurance companies involved and the attorneys (if applicable) will want to see a full assessment and treatment report including any x-rays and notes from the doctor. Dr. Bearden is meticulous in his insurance documentation and knows what the parties wish to see related to your treatment program and subsequent recovery.

Many people believe that car accident injury pain is related to strained or pulled muscles that will naturally get better with time. Most times, that’s simply not the case. For many injuries, however, that’s simply not the case. Neck pain, pounding headaches, shooting pain in the arms or legs, numbness and tingling, unrelenting muscle aches and pains, blurred vision, and difficulty sleeping at night are all symptoms of serious whiplash injuries. This pain won’t simply go away or get better without effective treatment from an experienced doctor. In fact, the longer you delay treatment, the worse your pain may become. Our doctors can help. If you have been in a recent accident and you are feeling these symptoms, there may be cause for concern.

You don’t have to be in a tractor trailer accident on Tennessee’s I-40 interstate to sustain a serious injury. Whiplash injuries, for instance can result from collisions at low speeds, even 5 miles per hour. In some cases, the injuries sustained are minor, but it is worth getting checked by a physician to be sure you don’t require further care. Sometimes you may have Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Dr. Bearden is experienced with Traumatic Brain Injuries. Dr. Bearden is a certified accident reconstructionist.

Be sure to get a comprehensive diagnostic exam. These exams should identify the source of your pain. Headaches, numbness and tingling, and unclear vision are often related to a cervical spine misalignment. Pounding headaches, numbness and tingling, and blurred vision are common whiplash injury symptoms due to a cervical spine misalignment. The force of a rear-impact car accident can “whip” the neck backwards and forwards, triggering a spinal misalignment know as whiplash.
