Surgery After a Jacksonville Car Accident
Call the law firm that’s been fighting for the injured for decades
After being seriously injured in a Jacksonville car accident, you may need surgery. Just the thought of it can be frightening, and it can impact your life in many ways. When a negligent driver caused the accident that left you hurt, the experienced attorneys at The Law Firm of Pajcic & Pajcic can help you recover financial compensation.
There are many types of car accident injuries that require surgery. You may need:
- Surgery on your neck or back
- Spinal surgery
- Brain surgery
- Rotator cuff or other shoulder surgery
- Arthroscopic surgery on a joint
- Knee surgery if you suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament injury) or another knee injury
- Amputation
- Plastic surgery if your injuries resulted in disfigurement.
Hearing that you need surgery can be very stressful. You wonder if you are going to be OK. You worry about complications. You think about how long you will have to stay in the hospital and what recovery will be like.
There is also financial stress. The costs of diagnostic tests, surgery, hospitalization, medication, physical therapy, home health care and follow-up appointments can add up very quickly and become overwhelming. You may worry about how you are going to pay your medical bills, especially if you are left unable to work.
Our car accident lawyers can handle tough cases
If a negligent driver is responsible for the injuries you suffered and the surgery you need, you shouldn’t have to pay. Recovering financial compensation can be complicated, however. The driver may have been speeding, texting or operating recklessly – but may deny doing anything wrong and refuse to accept responsibility.
Don’t expect the insurance companies to help. They are mostly concerned about protecting their bottom line. In order to keep their profits as high as possible, they will try to keep your payments as low as possible. There are many tactics they use to try to limit your compensation.
Insurance companies may question the seriousness of your injuries and whether you even need surgery. They may argue that your injuries were pre-existing and had nothing to do with the car accident. They may try to blame you for causing the accident. Or they may make you a lowball settlement offer that falls far short of covering the damages you have suffered.
