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.

Kratom is a type of herbal extract derived from the leaves of a Southeast Asian evergreen tree (Mitragyna speciosa). It is typically marketed as a tea or capsule supplement for providing pain relief and enhancement of mood. It is also frequently touted as a substance that can help with opioid withdrawal.
However, there are many safety concerns associated with Kratom products, and can be considered a dangerous drug and addicting substance. Many reports warn that Kratom is unsafe and has more side effects than potential safety benefits.
Other issues with Kratom products include unclear warning labels and packaging instructions, lack of clear guidelines regarding dosage, and lack of testing for purity. Many products are labeled as “Kratom” but may be mixed with other substances, or may not contain Kratom ingredients at all.
Kratom products are frequently sold over the counter at locations such as gas stations and convenience stores. This often makes them widespread and easily available throughout many communities and neighborhoods.
Kratom-based products are associated with several known side effects and safety problems, including:
Kratom is also linked to various other health concerns, such as salmonella poisoning. Immediate medical attention should be sought if a person is experiencing negative reactions from Kratom use.
The legal status of Kratom varies from state to state. It is not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act; however, many states regulate the substance or prohibit possession and use of it.
The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the substance for any type of medical use. The herb has yet to be listed as a scheduled substance under Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) rules.
If you have any questions about the legality of Kratom in your area, contact a lawyer who can provide guidance on the laws in your region.
