Back Injuries - When to Settle?
Back injuries can be very serious. Often, what seems to be a minor back injury becomes a traumatic long term injury which can disable someone and render them unable to work for years or even a life time. You should never settle your claim for a back injury (or any other claim for that matter) until you are absolutely certain of: (a) the type of back injury or injuries you have suffered; (b) the full extent of your back injury or injuries; and (c) how long it will take for you to heal; and (d) to what degree and length you will require ongoing medical and rehabilitative care.
Until these answers are available, you can not ascertain / determine the full value of your damages and fair amount of your claim and therefore you should not settle your case with an insurance company or directly with the person at fault for your injuries. Settlements are usually final and will prevent you from ever claiming more compensation for your claim in the future, even if your injuries worsen over time. In most cases, a settlement includes the injured person signing a full and final release of liability releasing the person at fault for your injuries from any future claims.
An experienced back injury lawyer can assist you with determining when you should consider settlement of your personal injury action or claim and can guide you through the settlement process so that you receive adequate and fair compensation.

Whiplash injuries are very painful. The most frequent complaints are headaches and stiffness in the neck and the back of the head. People who suffer from such injuries should not delay the compensation claim.The most common cause of whiplash is from when a car or another vehicle hits the back of yours when you are driving. The person who hit you from behind is always liable for the accident, and therefore if you have been in this situation and are injured from it, you are generally able to make a whiplash injury claim against them. The best way to get the right amount of compensation is by getting legal advice from a professional who can help to obtain a whiplash injury settlement.
