However, if the impact was significant and your head hit the head rest, then a bad head injury could be lingering. Do not take changes. Go in to the doctor and have X-Rays taken. If you have any kind of double vision, then you need to report that to the doctor. Double vision can be a “bad” sign. Remember that if you are in a car accident, and if you carry PIP coverage, then you are covered even if you are just getting checked. If you do have a head injury, then you need to contact an attorney. Head injuries can be worth quite a bid of money if you have good advice.

Evaluating a claim like is especially complex. There are many variables that come into play. Past, present, and future pain and suffering must be asses. Also, you need to account for what ever disability a back head injury will give you in the future. If you will have any wage loss or loss of business income, then you need to make sure this is estimated in your claim. To ensure these things are accounted for, contact an attorney in your area and discuss your case. Most lawyers will give you a free review of your case. Take advantage of this. An attorney will tell you if your back head injury is worth taking the insurance company to court. A claim like this one takes substantial amount of time to settle. Two to three years is a common period of time to reach settlement. It all depends in your state statute of limitations. Some states allow for four years and some only allow for one. Time is truly what is going to tell how bad a back head injury was. A word of caution: a back head injury could be a brain injury (in which case, you must have an attorney), but it could also be a “simple” claim. You could go to the doctor only to find out that you need an Advil. If that is the case, your injury claim is will not be worth very much. However, even if that is the case, at least you know exactly what is going on and your medical bills will be covered by your own carrier. It is better to be safe than sorry.
