Injured in Paragould? Get Help from a Car Accident Lawyer

If you’ve lived in Paragould, Arkansas for a while, then you know the city has been steadily growing in recent years. Population growth is generally a good thing – with growing communities come more businesses and commerce; however, with more commerce and people, comes more traffic, and with more traffic, unfortunately, comes more traffic accidents. Motor vehicle collisions are rarely easy to deal with – after all, they often leave victims with medical bills, without a vehicle, unable to work, and in pain. Car wrecks are rarely caused with malicious intent, but the aftermath can be devastating. If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Paragould that was not your fault, you should contact a Paragould car accident attorney who can help get you the compensation you deserve.

You’ve Been in Hit by a Car in Paragould – Now What?

If you were injured in the accident, you have the right to seek medical treatment so your injuries can be addressed by a licensed professional. Many people believe the pain they experience after a car accident will get better with time, and although it might, the pain could feel worse before it gets better. Also, the longer you wait to get medical treatment after the accident, it could become more difficult for a car accident attorney in Paragould to prove that the pain you experience is solely due to the collision.

If you suspect that you may have serious injuries and need immediate, emergency care for conditions like fractures, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, internal injuries and bleeding, or dislocated joints, you may be transported to a hospital like Arkansas Methodist Medical Center located at 900 W. Kingshighway, Paragould, AR 72450. Arkansas law states that injured car wreck victims have the right to recover fair compensation for medical bills caused by another driver’s negligence. Common forms of medical bills incurred after an accident are for hospitalization, primary doctors, specialists, physical therapy, surgery, and prescriptions. Lost wages and pain and suffering are other forms of damages recoverable in a personal injury claim.
