Something feels wrong with your leg, or your calf, or your chest, and you’re trying to figure out whether what happened in the accident could be responsible. Maybe you’ve been less mobile since you were injured. Maybe one leg is swollen or warm in a way the other isn’t. Maybe you’re short of breath in […]

You expected it to be better by now. The first few days made sense, everything hurt, your body had just been through something, you told yourself it would pass. But it has been two weeks, or three, or five, and the neck pain is still there, maybe different than it was at first, maybe moving […]

Your imaging came back and it says bulging disc, or herniated disc, or maybe both at different levels, and now you’re trying to figure out what those words actually mean for your body and for your claim. These two terms get used interchangeably in casual conversation and even sometimes in medical offices in ways that […]

You had the accident. Maybe it was a year ago, maybe several years ago. You dealt with the soreness, you settled your claim or let it go, you moved on. And now you are in a doctor’s office looking at an MRI and someone is pointing to a bulging disc and you are wondering, for […]

Something is wrong with your neck and arm, and you’ve either been told you have a C5-C6 herniation or you’re trying to figure out if what you’re feeling matches that diagnosis. The symptoms of a herniation at this specific level are distinctive enough that many people recognize them before any imaging confirms them, but they’re […]

It has been a few weeks, or maybe a few months, and you still do not feel like yourself. The neck pain that you expected to fade is still there, or it faded and came back, or it moved somewhere new. The headaches are interrupting your days. You are having trouble sleeping, or concentrating, or […]

You feel okay. Or mostly okay. Maybe there’s some stiffness, maybe not even that. The accident was real, it was significant, but you walked away and you’re not in the kind of pain you’d expect from a serious spinal injury. Now someone told you to get checked out anyway, or you read something that made […]

Something about the number they gave you does not feel right. Maybe they sent a settlement offer and it seems low but you do not have a basis for comparison so you are not sure. Maybe the adjuster has been pleasant and responsive and that has made you feel like the process is going fairly, […]

You’re staring at your insurance card or your declarations page trying to figure out which coverage applies to your situation, and the distinction between collision and comprehensive is not as intuitive as whoever named them thought it was. If you were just in an accident with another car, or you hit something, or someone hit […]

The other driver is already out of their car and they seem fine and you seem fine and the damage looks minor and they are suggesting you just swap insurance information and go, and you are standing there in the road or the parking lot trying to decide whether calling the police is the reasonable […]
