El Paso Drunk Driving Accident Chiropractor

Approximately 17,000 alcohol related automobile accidents occur in the United States alone each year, meaning there’s an accident about every 31 minutes. Alcohol has been a factor in 39 percent of all severe auto collisions and in 7 percent of all crashes, according to a 2004 research study. In addition, about 248,000 people suffer injuries or conditions during an incident where police reported alcohol was involved, meaning one person is injured in a car wreck in the US about every 2 minutes. These statistics reveal why drunk driving related automobile accidents have become a major issue, affecting people’s health and wellness every year.

Drunk Driving Car Accident Chiropractor in El Paso, Texas

Alcohol related car accidents aren’t the only culprit of injuries, driving under the influence of other types of drugs can also be a great risk for drivers in El Paso, Texas. DUI stands for driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Often times, prescription drugs and medications can have side-effects or specific instructions where it’s not recommended for the individual to drive or lift heavy machinery after taking them. Any type of substance which impairs a person’s normal driving ability can be a cause for an auto collision resulting in damage, injury or the development of painful conditions. If an individual has been involved in an unfortunate automobile accident caused by a careless driver who was “under the influence” behind the wheel and they were harmed as a result of the incident, it’s fundamental for the involved parties to seek immediate medical attention. Unfortunately in many instances, the innocent party is the one who ends up with more severe injuries and conditions than the party at fault. This is largely in part to the relaxed state in which the inebriated driver is in at the very moment of the auto accident as opposed to the tensing up reflex caused before a known impending impact. Regardless of how severe the incident was or whether the individual has experienced symptoms following the car wreck, seeking medical attention as soon as possible can help prevent further complications. Early diagnosis can also help provide faster relief from your injuries caused after the sheer impact of the automobile collision.

Chiropractic care is one of the most common, alternative treatment options preferred by people who’ve been involved in an automobile accident. Chiropractic focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and conditions of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Not everyone experiences symptoms immediately after the incident, in fact, a majority of injuries or conditions which develop due to the collision do not manifest in the form of open wounds or fractures. Whiplash associated injuries, for example, occur when the head or neck suddenly jerks back-and-forth in any direction due to a sheer impact. When this happens, the cervical spine and its surrounding structures are stretched beyond their limit, damaging or tearing the tissues.

Other injuries like whiplash may require further evaluations and tests to determine their presence. During the first visit, a chiropractor will perform a series of assessments to conclude a diagnosis before following up with treatment. The healthcare professional will prepare an appropriate treatment plan depending on the individual’s type and severity of their injury or condition. Although chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulations are the most common treatment methods and techniques to help a victim of an automobile accident recover, the spine specialist can also recommend a series of exercises and habit changes to promote a faster recovery.

Things to do at the Scene of the Accident before Medical Treatment

  • First and foremost, contact 911 to have an ambulance arrive at the scene for all the involved parties. Make sure they are informed of how many are injured and, to the extent you can, the severity of each person;
  • Make sure they send a police officer as well. If the party at fault appears to be under the influence, make sure the proper authorities are informed;
  • Try not to engage in contact with the driver to avoid further issues;
  • If the offending driver, attempts to leave the scene, “do not follow” them. Simply, attempt to get the make, model, color and tag number of their vehicle;
  • In case you are going to require the services of a legal representative, taking pictures of the damage of both cars can help during a personal injury case. Note: Not all automobile accidents make require the services of an attorney to gain compensation for an injury. Furthermore, make sure the officer gives you the Incident Number, so you can follow up with your case;
  • After being involved in an automobile accident, especially if you don’t know how hurt you are, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention. Before seeing a primary healthcare provider or following treatment with a chiropractor or physical therapist, you can go to the ER for an initial diagnosis and treatment.

Driving While Intoxicated, DWI, Car Accident Damages

Subsequently following an auto accident, many insurance companies try to rush the compensation process. The reason insurance company car accident adjusters try to quickly settle DWI injuries quickly is because they know Texas law allows for the recovery of punitive damages in a car accident where their insured was drunk driving or under the influence of drugs. With proper guidance and patience, individuals can gain a proper settlement for their case to help them pay for their medical bills and property damages. Many El Paso Chiropractor offices can help individuals with their compensations from the insurance company, working alongside various attorneys or simply through years of knowledge and skill in the process.

Non Legal Provider Insights

Being involved in an automobile accident can cause moderate to severe injuries and conditions as well as property damages, however, those caused by a driver under the influence can lead to further complications.
