Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries: when “minor” impact doesn’t mean “minor” injury.
Involvement in any car accident can be a traumatic and painful experience. No matter how “minor” the impact or how minimal the damage is to the vehicles, you can still suffer painful and serious injuries (both physical and psychological) as a result of a collision and be entitled to recover compensation.
Who pays for treatment and rehabilitation when you are injured in a motor vehicle accident?
Not every person involved in a motor vehicle accident will suffer an injury. If they do, it is not uncommon for them to have to undergo treatment and rehabilitation. The services can be expensive, and we are commonly asked who is responsible for paying these expenses?
