Why You Shouldn’t Deal With Insurance Alone
Insurance companies often sound friendly, but their goal is to settle your case for as little as possible. They might pressure you to sign documents, admit fault, or accept a quick check that doesn’t cover future care.
At Herbert Law Group, we handle all communication, so you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing or being taken advantage of.
Why Seeing a Doctor After a Car Accident Is So Important
After a crash, many people think they’re fine — until days or even weeks later when the pain sets in. Whether you were hit by a car, a truck, or even a UTV, getting checked by a doctor right away is one of the most important things you can do for both your health and your legal case.
Even a minor accident can cause injuries that aren’t immediately obvious, such as internal bruising, soft-tissue damage, or spinal misalignment. Adrenaline and shock can hide symptoms like pain, stiffness, or headaches for hours or days. By seeing a doctor promptly, you create a medical record that connects your injuries directly to the accident which is critical for your claim.
Why Anxiety After a Car Accident Is Normal and How We Help
Even after the visible injuries heal, many people experience anxiety, fear, or emotional trauma when trying to drive again. It’s one of the most common but least talked-about effects of a car accident. You may find yourself avoiding certain roads, feeling nervous at intersections, or panicking when cars stop suddenly and that’s completely normal.
Why Anxiety Happens After a Crash
When you experience a car accident, your brain records it as a major threat. Even after the danger is gone, certain sounds, movements, or environments can trigger that same fear response.
It’s called post-accident anxiety, and it can happen to anyone even if the crash wasn’t serious. Sometimes, the fear is tied to guilt (“I could’ve avoided it”) or loss of control. Over time, this stress can build and lead to panic attacks, avoidance, or depression if not treated properly.
At Herbert Law Group, We See This All The Time
After an accident, it’s easy to focus on visible injuries broken bones, pain, or physical therapy but emotional trauma is often overlooked.
Many clients tell us they feel uneasy, anxious, or on edge even months later. This happens because your brain is trying to protect you from danger by staying alert. Over time, though, that alertness can turn into chronic anxiety or panic. We always refer our clients to trusted therapists who specialize in helping accident victims recover physically, mentally, and emotionally.
