So you've been in a car accident. What happens next? There are many things that you should do but here are the three most important:
Number One: See a doctor immediately.
A broken bone is easy to see, but some injuries are not. The most common injuries from car accidents happen in the neck, back, or head. The only way to diagnose and treat them is by seeing a doctor. A doctor can help ease the pain, provide medication, reassure you of how your injury may impact your daily life, and tell you what not to do to make it worse.
A visit to the doctor can also give you legally protected time off to recover and rest your body after an accident, and it documents and provides the evidence you may need for your case. Even a five-mile-per-hour car accident can cause a serious injury. So whether you've had a severe accident or a minor collision, see a doctor. And if you don't have medical insurance, let us know and we'll make sure that you receive the proper care.
Number Two: Write everything down.
Even if it seems small, during times of stress or injury it is common to forget the little details. Make sure you keep note of the pain that you're in. With neck, back, and head injuries, sometimes simple activities such as walking up the stairs or picking up a toddler may cause severe pain.
You may not be sleeping well at night. Documenting how much you sleep and how often you wake up due to pain is also very important. And lastly, if you have any cuts or bruises, take daily photos as you heal. This will provide visual evidence of the injuries that you've suffered.
Number Three: Do not speak to an insurance company until you've spoken to a lawyer.
Please understand that the insurance adjuster works for a billion-dollar corporation and not for you. Their interests are solely for their insurance company, and their goal is to provide you with the least amount of financial settlement as quickly as possible. When you do speak with them, remember they will record the conversation. Why do they do this? Because they've been trained to ask questions that may confuse you. So talk to us before you talk to them.
So remember: See a doctor, document everything, and call us before calling the insurance company for your free private consultation. We are here for you. Real tough lawyers fighting real tough issues.
Get the facts about Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Stress Urinary Incontinence
With so many women affected by POP and SUI, it is important to have a solid understanding of the causes, symptoms and treatments and potential side effects to fully explore all of your options.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse – Pelvic organs are supported by muscles and ligaments that keep them in place. Over time and for a variety of reasons, these muscles and ligaments weaken and organs slip out of place. Childbirth, hysterectomy, menopause and prior pelvic surgeries all contribute to POP. Under the general umbrella of POP, there are different kinds of POP that affect different organs.
- Anterior prolapse (cystocele) – Anterior prolapse, often called prolapsed bladder, occurs when the bladder bulges into the vagina due to weakened tissues between the vaginal wall and bladder.
- Uterine prolapse – When the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments supporting the uterus weaken, the uterus often slips down into the vagina. Women who’ve had multiple vaginal deliveries are at increased risk for uterine prolapse.
- Stress Urinary Incontinence – SUI is the unintentional loss of urine caused by physical movements such as coughing, laughing, standing, lifting heavy objects, exercising and intercourse. Similar to POP, SUI is caused by the weakening of pelvic floor muscles and urinary tract tissues.
Because POP and SUI affect so many women, the implantation of transvaginal mesh to relieve symptoms has become a common procedure. However, thousands of patients have reported significant complications following mesh surgery and numerous lawsuits and complaints have been lodged against mesh manufacturers as well as physicians that fail to adequately warn patients of the risks associated with transvaginal mesh. If you have questions about your own situation, our experienced transvaginal mesh attorneys are ready to help you determine the most appropriate course of action based on your unique circumstances.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
