As Americans, we’re taught to tough things out and not complain too much, as we can handle pretty much anything that comes our way.  However, what happens if you’re involved in a fender bender, slip and fall at the supermarket, or get a concussion at a construction site but don’t feel as if the injuries are major or affect your life in the immediate moment? Most Americans would probably brush these minor injuries and think – okay, that was a minor accident, I can just go on with my life and be more careful next time.

However, what most people don’t understand is that even minor injuries can have significant ramifications in one’s life now and in the future, and leaving them unattended to can create unforeseen complications. That concussion may have caused a hematoma, the slip and fall may have led to a fracture in your spine or misalignment of a disc, and that fender bender may have led to internal injuries that only become apparent weeks and sometimes even months later.

Most of our clients, prior to coming to us, ask themselves – “do I need an injury lawyer for minor injuries?” In our vast experience handling tens of thousands of injury claims, a minor injury can snowball into severe, life-threatening and even disabling injuries that can in the near future lead you to suffer some form of disability or change in your lifestyle, and not having the injury seen by a physician as well as getting started on an injury claim are about the worst things you can do for your future as you will see in this post.

At McCready Law, our commitment is to injured victims of the negligence of other parties, and we aim to protect your rights and ability to file a claim to receive compensation, regardless of the severity of their injuries – read on to find out more.

The experienced injury lawyers at McCready Law bring to the table over 90 YEARS of combined legal experience where we’ve helped tens of thousands of injured Americans across the country receive compensation after getting injured due to the negligent actions of other individuals or large corporations.

To date, we’ve been able to recover over$260 million for our injured clients and counting, and our massive success can be attributed to a number of unique factors: we personally handle all claims and do not shunt them over to legal assistants and paralegals as is often seen in most law firms, we work with a team of world-renowned experts to ensure medical evidence, accident reports, forensic evidence all show a clear pattern of negligence on the part of the perpetrator or defendant leaving no room for doubt by the defense legal team, and we ensure to work closely with our injured clients to update them on their case on a regular basis, fostering a culture of openness and client trust.

In addition, we are not afraid to litigate claims should we believe that based on insurance company negotiations are carried out in bad faith and your injuries may have long-term financial consequences as more often than not, litigating a claim successfully ends in the plaintiff being awarded the maximum allowable compensation by law. In addition to running a bilingual firm (hablamos Español), we also take on all cases on contingency fee basis, and what this means is that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of the claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf.

If you or a loved one got injured in an auto accident, slip and fall, nursing home abuse or any other circumstances you believe were caused by negligence, please call us NOW at (314) 481-63338 to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation – our intake team is standing by.

Do My Minor Injuries Really Require a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Here is a list of some of the injuries that may be seen as minor after an accident:

1. Whiplash injuries due to your neck jerking back and forth due to a collision in an auto accident
2. Bruises acquired from slipping and falling inside a store due to merchandize left or water left strewn on the floor
3. Superficial cuts in a factory setting where one develops lacerations due to a malfunctioning piece of equipment.
4. Sprains and strains due to sudden twists and falls down a flight of stairs at an apartment block, affecting muscles and ligaments
5. General aches and pains after an accident, fall or work-related injury which may seem temporary at first but persist long after the accident has occurred, sometimes for weeks or even months.

Minor injuries may seem innocuous and the average victim may see no need for an attorney. However, these injuries are often occult and can ruin just about every aspect of your life. Here’s how and why.

1.  A seemingly minor injury can be persistent when it comes to the pain and immobility and can diminish your ability to be a productive worker both at work and at home. The pain and stiffness may impact your ability to concentrate which may in turn lead to reduced productivity leading to disciplinary action at work as well as disagreements at home.
2. Minor injuries may also attract unexpected medical costs such as doctor visits, copays, prescription medication costs and even the cost of physical therapy, all of which can impact your financial wellbeing
3. Some injuries which may at first seem minor may morph into serious syndromes and complications such as a head injury leading to post-concussive syndrome causing cognitive issues, and a sprain leading to ongoing and intractable leg instability and even bone or nerve degeneration.
