I was in a slow-speed accident, but I am hurt. Will the insurance company take my injury claim seriously?

A:

Many people assume that serious injuries only happen after a high-speed crash.  However, this isn’t entirely true.

Depending on how you were hit, you could have sustained an injury that will give you long-term problems or even keep you from being able to work the way you used to.  Remember, it isn’t the severity of the accident that matters, it is the severity of your injuries.

Children and the elderly are especially prone to being badly hurt in a seemingly innocuous collision.  If there is any question that somebody in your car sustained an injury in any kind of crash – even a slow-speed one – get medical attention.  Sometimes all it takes is being it at the wrong angle to cause life-long pain and suffering.
