One of the most common injuries sustained during a car accident in South Carolina is whiplash. Occurring primarily in rear-end collisions, whiplash is the widely accepted, non-medical colloquialism that refers to a range of injuries caused by a sudden compression and extension of the ligaments of the spine.
When whiplash occurs the ligament has been either hyperextended or torn altogether. The discs between the vertebrae can also be torn, sometimes causing what is known as a disc herniation. If you are in South Carolina and you have been involved in a car accident that has left you with the painful after-effects of whiplash, it is in your best interest to contact a professional car accident lawyer from the Nye Law Group as soon as you are able.
Some injuries from car accidents can take hours or sometimes even days before they begin to make themselves known. It is essential to your case that you go to the doctor immediately after your accident, 
even if you do not think you have sustained any injuries.
Since many injuries that involve damage to the soft tissue, such as whiplash, are not immediately apparent, this documentation can help prove you were in fact injured in the car accident. Doctors know what to look for to see if a whiplash diagnosis applies to your situation and a key professional witnesses to your case.
For the best outcome of your injury claim, the first declaration of your health after the accident needs to come from a qualified medical professional. Once you have been medically diagnosed, you should make sure to retain all paperwork given to you at the hospital and contact your South Carolina car accident attorney as soon as possible.
One of the best things you can do to help your claim along and to help your car accident attorney win your case it to thoroughly document your medical expenses. If possible, you should make copies and keep a backup folder specific to your car accident attorney in case something happens to any of your original documentation. Things like when you had to be away from work due to appointments or injuries, the miles you have had to drive, prescription costs, therapy costs, and expenses brought about by home care providers or medical devices should all be included.
Before you are awarded any amount of money as compensation for your car accident related losses, the insurance adjuster will want proof of every single penny you are claiming you spent due to the whiplash or other injuries caused by the car accident.
Whiplash injuries are often dismissed as fake injuries by the insurance companies. When you have an attorney from the Nye Law Group on your side, you can feel confident that your personal injury claim will be taken seriously and that we will fight to get you the compensation that you are entitled to under the law.

After a car accident in North Carolina, you’ll likely be contacted by either your own insurance or the insurance company of the other person involved in the accident. This insurance adjuster, while amicable, is not your friend. It is not the insurance adjuster’s job to help you recoup your losses after a car accident. An insurance adjuster exists to protect the interests of the insurance company by minimizing their payouts which in turn helps to keep their profits up.
Negotiating with someone from an insurance company can be overwhelming and end up harming your case if you are not familiar with the ways they minimize or completely discredit your claim. If you have been injured in a car accident in North Carolina, it is in your best interest to contact a reputable car accident lawyer from the Nye Law Group as soon as possible. By having someone in your corner who knows how insurance companies work and how to combat their tactics, you can get the most out of your car accident settlement.
If you are going to ask for compensation following a car accident to cover your costs including medical expenses, damages, lost wages, or pain and suffering, maintaining up to date records and paperwork is one of the most crucial things that you can do. You should make sure to keep any paperwork that is given to you by a medical professional and make and retain copies of it.
Tracking your experience in real time can also help protect your car accident claim. By keeping track of aches and pains that you experience as well as any hardships or ways in which your life has been made more difficult, you can further prove the extent of your car accident injuries. The more proof you have, the more difficult it will be for the insurance company to dismiss your injuries. Having this type of documentation available for your car accident attorney will also increase your likelihood of receiving compensation for your damages.
It is equally imperative that you keep a running record of any other information that has to do with your car accident. This documentation should include your personal notes on the accident including the time, place, and anything you noticed about the other driver and photographs of the car accident.
You should also keep copies of the reports from the insurance companies and from the police as well. Information regarding the vehicles involved, the other drivers and their contact information, as well as any witness information or statements that you are able to gather will be vital additions to your record keeping.
The more documentation you collect from your North Carolina car accident, the stronger a case your attorney can build for you. A stronger, more supported case helps to ensure that you receive the full damages you are entitled to under the law and not just the amount the insurance company is willing to part with.
Above all else, one of the best things that you can do to maximize your car accident settlement in North Carolina is to not speak to anyone from the insurance company until you have hired an experienced, reputable car accident attorney. At the Nye Law Group, we have years of experience in helping injured car accident victims receive the compensation that they deserve.
