I Just Had A Car Accident, How Long Does My Case Take?

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 20, 2019

You are probably wondering, how long does my case? Your case will depend on a lot of factors. If you have big injuries and there is a low policy, many times the insurance company would not want to pay right away because they know they are putting their clients at risk. This does not mean that it’s a good position for you because depending on circumstances, that may be all that you can get. Now, there are all the things that can happen within that, but it gets a bit more complicated. The insurance company in good effort must do everything compliant with the demands of the compliant. That is the first. Next, you have big injuries, bad injuries- big policy. Yes, that sounds like a good idea, however sometimes when the policy is big, the insurance company will fight it because they have enough money to fight it. With that being said, if you bad injuries and big policy, the chances of recovery are much greater. Case scenario number three, you have little injuries, big policy. The insurance company has a lot of money to fight, so it takes much longer to settle the case. Case option number four, you have big injuries, decent policy. Now, this is a more realistic scenario. When this happens, you have bad injuries and your coverage is valued out what the injuries could be, now the insurance offer is more reasonable. Tampa personal injury lawyer Edward Reyes represents people in Tampa and Hillsborough County, Florida who have suffered an injury in an incident or accident type of accident. Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 At the end of the day, the insurance company has adjusters that work for them. Their job is to adjust claims down. Their job is not to pay you, but they are trying to reduce the amount for their company. That is what they are paid to do, so do not take it personally. They do not know you; they only know what’s on paper. So, if you feel that the adjusters are not treating you fairly, that is where we have to put more pressure, we have to use techniques so they raise the offer and we may have to file a suit. By filing suit, it comes in the hands of the adjusters and goes to the hands of another person which is the litigation adjuster and an attorney. If you have questions on this, call us at 813.421.3411. (Transcript from the video, transcribed but not reviewed)

When to See A Doctor After A Car Accident?

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 19, 2019

You were just going about your day. Then a Tampa car accident changed everything. Now you’re sore but not sure if it’s “really” an injury, and the other driver’s insurance team is already working to protect their interests. Here’s what you need to know about seeing a doctor — before you say another word to them. TL;DR — QUICK SUMMARY See a doctor within 24 to 72 hours of any Florida car accident, even if you feel “fine” — adrenaline and shock routinely mask concussions, internal injuries, and soft-tissue damage. Florida’s no-fault PIP law under Florida Statute § 627.736 requires you to obtain initial medical services within 14 days of the crash or lose your $10,000 in PIP benefits entirely. Gaps in treatment are the single most common reason insurance adjusters reduce or deny a Tampa car accident claim — every missed appointment is leverage for the other side. Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a) gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, but the medical record you build in the first month often decides what your case is worth. You do not have to use the at-fault driver’s “preferred” doctor; you have the right to choose your own physician and to be evaluated for delayed-onset injuries like whiplash, concussion, and disc damage. The Reyes Firm Hurt in a Tampa Car Accident? Get clear next steps before the 14-day PIP deadline. Had a bad day? Contact Us Now 14 Days FL PIP medical deadline Fla. Stat. § 627.736 $10,000 Florida PIP benefit limit Fla. Stat. § 627.736 2 Years FL statute of limitations Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(a) 72 Hours Delayed injury window Mayo Clinic / CDC guidance When should you see a doctor after a car accident in Tampa? You should see a doctor within 24 to 72 hours of any Florida car accident, ideally the same day. Even a “minor” crash transfers enough force to cause whiplash, concussion, internal bleeding, and soft-tissue damage that you may not feel at the scene because adrenaline and shock chemistry suppress pain signals for hours, sometimes days. By the time the discomfort actually shows up, the injury has often already begun to worsen. The honest answer most people don’t hear from the at-fault driver’s insurer: it doesn’t matter how “fine” you feel walking away. The standard medical guidance is to be evaluated as soon as possible after any collision involving airbag deployment, head impact, neck strain, abdominal contact with a seatbelt, or any loss of consciousness — and frankly, after any crash where another vehicle hit yours at speed. ⚠️ Deadline Warning: Under Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a), you have two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. But you have only 14 days to start medical treatment to keep your $10,000 in Florida PIP benefits under § 627.736. Miss the 14-day window and you lose your no-fault coverage entirely. Don’t wait to call a lawyer or a doctor. Why is the 14-day PIP rule so important after a Florida car accident? Florida is a no-fault auto insurance state, which means your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays the first $10,000 of your medical bills regardless of who caused the crash — but only if you obtain “initial services and care” within 14 days of the accident. This deadline is written directly into Florida Statute § 627.736 and the insurance industry enforces it strictly. Two things go wrong when people miss the 14-day deadline. First, they lose access to PIP coverage entirely, which means thousands of dollars of medical bills come out of their own pocket or get pushed onto their health insurance. Second, the gap between the crash and the first medical visit becomes the at-fault driver’s favorite argument — that you weren’t really hurt, or that the injury came from something else. The 14-day rule isn’t just an insurance technicality; it’s a legal trap for people who try to “tough it out.” What injuries are commonly missed at the scene of a Tampa car accident? The most dangerous car accident injuries are the ones that don’t show up at the scene. Emergency responders are trained to triage life-threatening trauma first, and many serious injuries simply don’t produce visible symptoms in the minutes after a crash. By the time the symptoms catch up to you, the underlying damage may be days or weeks ahead of the pain. Injuries that commonly stay hidden in the first 24 to 72 hours include: Concussion and mild traumatic brain injury — headache, brain fog, light sensitivity, sleep disruption, and memory problems often start a full day or two after impact, especially when there was no loss of consciousness Whiplash and cervical strain — neck stiffness and reduced range of motion typically peak between 24 and 72 hours, long after the adrenaline has worn off Herniated and bulging discs — radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg can take weeks to fully present, even though the disc injury occurred at impact Internal bleeding and organ damage — abdominal pain, lightheadedness, and bruising after a seatbelt impact can signal a life-threatening injury that needs immediate imaging Soft-tissue and ligament tears — shoulder, knee, and wrist injuries often feel like soreness at first and only declare themselves when swelling and inflammation peak Psychological injury — anxiety, intrusive thoughts, sleep disruption, and avoidance of driving are real, compensable injuries that need clinical documentation 💡 Did You Know? According to FLHSMV’s 2024 “By the Numbers” report, Florida recorded more than 395,000 crashes in 2024, with roughly 247,000 injuries reported statewide. Hillsborough County alone consistently ranks among the top three Florida counties for traffic crashes. Source: FLHSMV By the Numbers 2024, flhsmv.gov. Note: 2024 crash numbers are preliminary. Which doctor should you see first after a car accident in Tampa? The right first stop depends on what you’re feeling, but the rule of thumb is to go higher rather than lower. If there is any chance

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

Spinal cord stimulation is not very well known and it doesn’t make sense to a lot of people. But it is is basically a pacemaker for pain. I don’t know if we can see it here but it is a little battery that causes impulses that are taken to the spine through these wires. And they’re going to go to the spine. And they have an effect, a very subtle effect, on the nerves that are going into the brain from the back, for example. It can also be down in the neck and the mid-back. It can alleviate the pain that is otherwise not responding to anything else. And beyond that it serves two major purposes: avoid surgery, particularly on patients that have disc lesions that produce mostly the pain that goes down the legs or down the arms, and also it can rescue patients who have persistent pain after undergoing surgery. As you know, spine surgery has a high incidence of persistent pain after the surgery, and spinal cord stimulation can really help that. So patients who are looking to avoid surgery but they’re having pain – they had an injury and they continue to have pain – this is one of the alternatives that I can offer them. Tampa personal injury lawyer Edward Reyes represents people in Tampa and Hillsborough County, Florida who have suffered an injury in an incident or accident type of accident. Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 Those who did have surgery and continue to have pain, this is many times the only choice they have. I think when a lot of people when they think of pain management, and myself included especially before I was an attorney, was they think of prescription drugs and pills and things like that. But this is completely different. This is more of a really get in there and help the person not so much cover-up with medicine. Probably the basic mission of interventional pain medicine is to avoid patients from being on chronic opioids. Call us for more information. (Transcript from the video, transcribed but not reviewed)

Traumatic Brain Injury how is it Caused?

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

When you have the whiplash, motion, either side to side or forward, there’s a liquid, and you can, of course, you know a lot more than I do. We just help people recover from their injuries. But, a liquid inside that protects the brain a little bit but, because of the impact, it crashes back and forth into the skull walls, but if you can just kind of elaborate more on what you’ve seen on the traumatic brain injuries. Well, the brain is swimming in the fluid. There is a number of structures that are anchoring the brain down to the neck, et cetera. And those are the structures that tend to be stretched by the motion of the brain inside the skull. In this, deceleration injuries, you’re going at 80 miles per hour and all of a sudden, you’re at zero miles per hour. Traumatic Brain Injury Your brain wants to keep going. And when it does, it stretches a big number of possible structures inside your skull that can cause the traumatic brain injury. It could be even bleeding from that. Now, and I’ve heard the statistic, and I don’t know how true this is, 70 to 80% of CT scans miss traumatic brain injury, cause CT only shows if there’s hemorrhaging or blood in the brain, but, have you heard anything of each, CT scan has a very low sensitivity for traumatic brain injury, unless there is a bleed, which is, thankfully, not very common because of how strong the skull is. You don’t see evidence of traumatic brain injury in a CT scan, which is what is typically performed in ERs. What do we see, what are common, if somebody was out there, what are the common symptoms, I guess, I would ask, if somebody said, and, you know, we’ve heard, “I just don’t feel right”, or, “I feel dizzy.” What have you found is the most common symptoms, what do you, traumatic brain injury.⁣ Time of the Accident Well, the patient would have an initial loss of consciousness at the time of the accident and then when they come back they, as you said, they don’t feel right, they feel dizzy, they feel this vertigo-like everything is moving around. They can have a severe headache. And then, which is the most concerning, is that these symptoms may dissipate initially, and then they would start having chronic symptoms of traumatic brain injury which would even include emotional liability, problems like that, yeah.⁣ Tampa personal injury lawyer Edward Reyes represents people in Tampa and Hillsborough County, Florida who have suffered an injury in an incident or accident type of accident. Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 So, a lot of times, focusing, maybe connecting with loved ones, you know, vertigo, standing up, mood swings, okay, stuff like that. Yeah, cause a lot of people, I think that they’re not really thinking about this traumatic brain injury issue, but it is happening, because even at low impacts, we’ve seen that it does affect people’s mood, they just don’t feel right, in the field. They feel off, that we’ve heard. They don’t understand what is happening. Nobody’s told them they could have a traumatic brain injury. And they just can’t back to their lives and they don’t know why.

Herniations VS Bulging Disk

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

Some people have a misnomer of herniations is worse than bulging. If you could just kind of talk to us through that a little bit. – Yeah, there’s a lot of confusion that in rear-ending injuries that the basic mechanism is what we call a flexion-extension injury where the initial motion of the patient is forward with a backlash where there are two very common injuries. One to the ligaments that support the neck and to the disks that is separate the vertebrae in the neck. In those, we see what is common as seen as disk, or heard as, disk herniations, but the level, the severity, of that herniation is what prompts the severity of the symptoms. So a radiologist read a disk herniation in different ways which can be confusing. Herniation In general, a bulge is a step prior to a herniation. So it’s a very small herniation that is typically not causing symptoms, but that is not always true. Many times a disk bulge can cause symptoms of neck pain and sometimes pinched nerves in the neck that cause pain down the arms or into the head. A herniation can be divided into either a protrusion or an extrusion. Now to continue on that of course, but what exactly, and definitely go into the protrusion and extrusion things like that, but what exactly for everybody out there that don’t know what herniation even is, is that the disk that comes out of place? Let me show you this cause I like to show it. I don’t know if I can show the camera, but in the spine there are vertebrae. This is what you touch in the back. Whenever you touch the back of your neck you touch this part of the spine. The bones in between are separated by a structure that is mostly a gel. Designed for cushioning between the bones, and they are supposed to be fairly aligned with the edges of the bone. A herniated disk is when that gel comes out of place, typically backward where the nerves Are coming out of. Hence creating pain going down your arms or something like that correct? And so that’s what a herniated disk is. What exactly is a bulge then? It’s just used in small herniation?⁣- Well, a bulge is typically a smaller herniation. Then when a herniation is a protrusion versus an extrusion what that typically means is a disk can herniate moving completely out or it can break. Tampa personal injury lawyer Edward Reyes represents people in Tampa and Hillsborough County, Florida who have suffered an injury in an incident or accident type of accident. Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 A Tear in the Fibers There can be a tear in the fibers of the disk and that gel comes out almost free-flowing into where the spine and the nerves are. And an extrusion is typically considered the most severe form of a disk herniation. Logically I would imagine if the gel or the liquid is coming out it would cause pain, but why does it cause pain? Is it because, well is it because it’s hitting the nerve roots or what? Why does it? – Two main reasons. One, the mechanical aspect of the disk pinching against the nerve, so it’s just pushing against it. It’s making this nice and big hole very small. And the other one is that a herniated disk is very inflammatory. It’s very warm and red. It’s angry. ⁣Everything it touches it causes it to be red and angry as well. So when the disk barely touches the nerve it can also cause the nerve to be very irritated and cause pain. That’s why even small herniations that do not appear to be impinging mechanically on a nerve can still cause a lot of pain. Call 813.421.3411 for help.

Motorcycle Accidents Cause More Injuries: What to Do?

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

You were just riding home through Tampa. Then a driver who never saw you turned across your lane, and in an instant everything changed. Now you’re facing serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and an insurance company that is already building its case against you. Here’s what you need to know about your Florida motorcycle accident claim before you say another word to an adjuster. TL;DR — QUICK SUMMARY Motorcycle riders absorb the full force of a crash with almost no protection, which is why these collisions cause far more severe injuries than typical car accidents. Florida’s no-fault PIP insurance does not cover motorcycle injuries, so you generally must pursue the at-fault driver and their bodily injury liability coverage directly. Evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and dashcam or surveillance footage disappears quickly, so preserving it early can make or break your case. You have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit under Florida Statute 95.11(3)(a), and missing this deadline usually ends your claim. Even if you legally rode without a helmet, the insurer may try to blame you to cut your payout, and an experienced Tampa attorney can push back. The Reyes Firm Hurt in a Motorcycle Crash in Tampa?

Stat. 95.11(3)(a) #1 Deadliest U.S. state for riders FLHSMV / NHTSA, 3 years running Why do motorcycle accidents cause so much more serious injury than car crashes? Motorcycle accidents cause more severe injuries because a rider has almost nothing between their body and the road, while a car occupant is surrounded by a steel frame, seatbelts, crumple zones, and airbags. When a motorcycle is struck, the rider is often thrown from the bike and hits the pavement, another vehicle, or a fixed object with the full force of the impact. That physics is why a crash that might leave a car driver shaken but uninjured can leave a motorcyclist with life-altering harm. Common motorcycle accident injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, broken bones, severe road rash, internal organ damage, and amputations. Head injuries are especially dangerous. A serious traumatic brain injury can change how you think, work, and live, sometimes permanently. In the most tragic cases, families are left pursuing a wrongful death claim after losing someone they love. The severity of these injuries is also why motorcycle claims deserve to be taken seriously from day one. Can you sue the driver who caused your Tampa motorcycle accident? Yes. If another driver’s negligence caused your motorcycle crash, you can pursue a claim against that driver for the harm they caused you. Florida law lets injured riders seek compensation when someone else’s careless or reckless driving leads to their injuries, whether the other driver ran a red light, turned left across your path, followed too closely, or was distracted behind the wheel. The challenge is that motorcyclists face an unfair stigma. Insurance companies often assume the rider was speeding or weaving, even when the driver of the car was entirely at fault. Building your case means proving what actually happened, and that work starts the moment the crash occurs. ⚠️ Deadline Warning: Under Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a), you have two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline almost always means losing your right to recover anything. Don’t wait to call a lawyer. Does Florida’s no-fault insurance cover your motorcycle accident? No. Florida’s no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) system does not cover motorcycle injuries, even though it covers drivers and passengers in cars. Under Florida Statute § 627.736, PIP benefits apply to motor vehicles as the statute defines them, and motorcycles fall outside that definition. This is one of the most misunderstood points in Florida motorcycle law, and it has real consequences. Unlike a car accident, where your own PIP pays the first portion of your medical bills regardless of fault, an injured motorcyclist usually has to recover from the at-fault driver’s bodily injury liability coverage, plus any uninsured or underinsured motorist and MedPay coverage you carry on your own policy. Because that compensation depends on proving fault and locating the right insurance, having a lawyer who knows how to stack these sources of coverage matters. 💡 Did You Know? According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Crash Dashboard, Florida recorded 9,420 motorcycle crashes in 2024, resulting in 578 rider deaths and 8,106 injuries. For the third year in a row, Florida led the nation in motorcycle fatalities. Source: FLHSMV Crash Dashboard, 2024. Note: 2024 crash numbers are preliminary. Watch: How Motorcycle Accidents Are Different Than Car Accidents This short video walks through the first moves that protect both your health and your legal claim after a motorcycle crash in Florida. If you have questions after watching, The Reyes Firm offers free consultations and can review your situation at no cost. Who is actually liable for your Tampa motorcycle crash? Liability depends on who caused the crash, and it is not always only the other driver. Depending on the facts, responsible parties can include the at-fault motorist, their employer if they were driving for work, a vehicle owner who let an unsafe driver use their car, a government agency responsible for a dangerous road defect, or a manufacturer whose defective part contributed to the wreck. Florida also follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means the insurance company will look for ways to shift blame onto you. One common tactic in motorcycle cases involves helmets. Florida law under Florida Statute § 316.211 allows riders 21 and older to ride without a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical benefits coverage. Even when you rode legally, a defense lawyer may argue that not wearing

Radio Frequency Ablation: What is it and Why do you need it?

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

Buy Flagyl online over the counter Dr. Sahu also emphasized that flagyl must be given at As another consequence, there may result improvement of health status of a certain individual. As the use of Flagyl in this regard is not controversial, it is necessary to consider the use thereof in the treatment of the severe disease of dysentery and dysphosphatidemia, for other uses may also be given its beneficial attributes; For the general use, it is of course advisable to use a different flagyl compound than Flagyl Lactate. It is important to be certain that Flagyl Lactate, when properly used, has a good bioavailability (10 g/day) to reach the patients for its intended purpose. In the specific case of dysentery, an important factor to consider is the amount of Flagyl lactate utilized during the treatment, to reach the recommended level in order to maintain normal physiologic function of intestinal microbial flora. It is not necessary to add this compound in the treatment of some other infections where Flagyl lactate is needed. It is also not necessary for certain patients, who can not afford to utilize additional Flagyl lactate in his treatment, to employ this specific flagyl compound. In addition, in cases where it is necessary to add additional Flagyl lactate to the treatment of a severe infection, Flagyl lactate, for the purpose of making further recovery of the organism, should be used in a similar manner as Flagyl Lactate (10 g/day) (see the table). Use of Flagyl Lactate and Flagyl Lactate Lactate In order to give patients Flagyl lactate (10 g/day) for the treatment of diarrhea as mentioned above or Flagyl glucose for the treatment of dysentery, only the recommended amount of Flagyl lactate (3 tablets/day) should be used, https://bestpills1.com. Any additional quantity of Flagyl lactate is not necessary for the treatment of dysentery. When use of Flagyl lactate is not possible, as mentioned above, use of either Flagyl glucose or Flagyl glucose Lactate (10 g/day) is generally to be recommended. Flagyl carbohydrate is considered as a prophylactic substance, and should be used to maintain healthy intestinal flora; This carbohydrate can be either Flagyl lactate (3 tablets/day) or Flagyl carbohydrate (5 g/day) or Flagyl glucose (10 g/day) or Flagyl Lactate (10 g/day). Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease Flagyl lactate also can be used in the treatment of acute renal The effect of Flagyl on the degradation of the 5-nitro group of polyamine could be mediated by a mechanism that would involve accumulation of ATP and catalysed by glutamic acid decarboxylase, a glutamic acid catabolizing enzyme. The effect of Flagyl to induce amino acid accumulation, or amelioration of the biochemical function of bacteria or anaerobes, needs to be ruled out before it can be considered as a drug approved for use as a general medicine.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

Radiofrequency ablation will improve the pain but will not cause loss of sensation and weakness and all the other functions of a nerve.⁣ If you have a nerve, if you have pain in your hand, you could cut the nerve to that hand, and maybe be out of pain. But you’re not going to feel anything in the hand, you’re not going to be able to move your hand. As a matter of fact, sometimes by doing that you can make the pain worse. But that’s another topic and it can cause them to degenerate, it kills those fibers without causing any damage to the motor or the sensory fibers. The reason for that is interesting, it’s because of the myelin sheath? That patients with Multiple Sclerosis have a deficiency. If you think about an electrical cable, the myelin is the plastic around it, when you lose that, you lose protection. All of those little fibers, they have that myelin sheath, except for the pain fibers inside the nerve. The reason for that is, is because of evolution. We need to be able to feel pain.⁣ Pain fibers are the oldest in evolution.

Like a hostile and things like that, exactly. if you think about a parasite, with one cell parasite, they don’t feel pain but they can sense something that is toxic, and they pull away.⁣ So, those fibers are so old that they never developed that sheath, that protective sheath. So, radiofrequency you can graduate it so that it will harm the fibers that don’t have protection, of the myelin and you can have the other fibers intact. So, that’s why radiofrequency ablation works so well for treating people. Call us today for more information. (Transcript from the video, transcribed but not reviewed)

Transforamital Epidural Steroid Injections

Edward Reyes, Esq / November 4, 2019

Epidural injections, I think everybody has heard of them but most people do not understand them what they do. Even people who perform them, I don’t think they. Completely understand what they do. Epidural steroid injections, are injecting steroids, which is a very potent anti-inflammatory and usually, the steroids are long-acting, they’re going to act in the spine for weeks. And what we want to do is to reach these nerves that are coming out, these are the nerves that are going to be pinched on by the herniated discs either in the neck or the low back and they’re going to be irritated, they’re going to be swollen, they’re going to be angry, we want to calm them down with a steroid. When those nerves are swollen they’re fat and therefore the impingement of the disc is even worse. It’s like biting the inside of your cheek, when you bite the inside of your cheek you get swollen then you keep biting on it. So you can’t get rid of it. So that’s the purpose of the steroid, however, most people do the epidural injections from this approach, from the middle, okay? Which cannot always reach these nerves on the side, because remember that there’s a disc that is impinging on it so it might prevent the spread of the steroid. So the transforaminal injection, what they do is, we go from the side and we target the specific nerve. I see it makes sense, actually. That seems to make more sense than going the other way. We get much better results with that approach.

We don’t do general anesthesia, we sedate the patient with a type of sedation that is very quick to get in and also very quick to get out.
