Car accidents are among the top ten causes of injury and death in Austin for all age groups.

Of course, you are more likely to be injured in a car accident in the Austin area.  Injuries can consist of soft tissue injuries which usually are accompanied by headaches.  Many times these headaches are caused by your neck whipping forward and then violently slamming into the headrest.  More severe injuries can included  bulging discs, herniated discs, disc extrusions  broken bones, loss of consciousness, short term and long term memory loss, severe brain injuries, internal injuries such as punctured organs, facial fractures, and almost always some form of psychological trauma.

If you are hurt in a car accident, seeking medical attention should be your first step. Your first thoughts should not be your legal case, the cost of treatment, and the time spent in the ER; getting immediate medical care should be your top priority.  Nothing is more important than immediate and proper medical care immediately after a car accident.

After you seek such care, please call us and we can discuss your ongoing medical options which include physical therapy, medical evaluation, possibly an orthopedic consult, and sometimes surgical intervention.
