In defending against minor impact accident claims, insurance companies often point to the limited visible damage of the vehicle. In fact, visible damage to the outside of the vehicle is a poor indicator of the damage suffered by the vehicle’s occupants. In the same way eggs can be damaged inside a perfectly intact egg carton, people in minor impact accidents can suffer severe and life-altering injuries inside of cars and trucks that were not badly damaged in the crash.
The true impact of a car accident injury is not always felt in the hours and days following the accident. Some injuries may seem minor at first, but in fact have a long-lasting impact. Nerve damage, soft-tissue injuries, herniated discs and other injuries can leave the injured with a number of hardships, including medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost time from work.
