What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You: 14 Injury Magnifiers Often Missed in Auto Accidents

Some attorneys ask what conditions in car accidents can magnify patients’ injuries. Here is a list of specific circumstances we evaluate and document when we see a personal injury patient:

  1. Defenses up
  2. Joints locked out
  3. Whiplash effect
  4. Wearing a seat belt
  5. Headrest position
  6. Car weight differential
  7. Car safety rating
  8. Slick surface conditions
  9. Vehicle moving
  10. Foot on the brake
  11. Airbags deployment
  12. Grabbing the steering wheel
  13. Firmness of the material impacted
  14. Rebound impact

If a doctor does not identify these magnifiers in car accident patients, they cannot adjust the treatment appropriately, and the patients’ progress may be slower. Additionally, doctors must document these factors in their notes, or the attorney will be unable to use this information effectively to build their case. Without actionable documentation, attorneys may face low settlement offers.

We have a checklist of these injury magnifiers built into our software and procedures. This information helps us diagnose our patients accurately and enhance their healing process. Attorneys appreciate having the necessary information to build a strong case.

If you would like to learn more, send me a message or call us at 208-854-0600. We can arrange a Zoom call or a tour of our office to share our procedures and technologies that help personal injury patients heal and achieve favorable settlements.
