    Why Mental Health Shouldn’t Be Ignored After An Accident

    If you have an accident, it is pretty standard for it to hurt not only your physical health but your mental health as well. Many people choose not to talk about their accident, especially if it resulted in significant and life-changing injuries and bottle up the emotional trauma that they are suffering, especially if it was caused by someone else

    Of course, this is wholly understandable. Recovering from a physical injury can be difficult and time-consuming. On top of this is the stress, the difficulty in finding an excellent personal injury lawyer and the often long-winded legal processes and even court proceedings that follow a serious accident. It can often make people want to give up and not see it through. However, it is vital that after an accident, the emotional and psychological symptoms are not ignored and treatment is sought, especially if they start to have an impact on your day to day life and recovery.  (more…)

    Mistakes To Avoid After A Serious Injury

    An injury can truly wreak havoc on your life, impacting you physically, emotionally, and financially. The moments just after a serious injury are usually filled with confusion and shock. People don’t often expect to be involved in an accident, so when they are, they rarely know how to deal with the situation. For this reason, it’s fairly common for victims of an injury to risk their case by doing the wrong thing. With that in mind, here are six mistakes you must avoid after a serious injury. 

    Delaying Seeing A Doctor

    While your adrenaline levels are high, you may not feel the symptoms of your injury. This means you might not realize you need a doctor until much later. Sometimes, pain doesn’t appear until days or weeks after an accident, by which time you might have caused further damage. Make your health a priority and strengthen your claim by heading to the hospital right after being hurt. 

    Failing To Collect Evidence

    Seeing a doctor about your injuries means that a record of them will be taken for you. As valuable as this is, you must also collect evidence from the scene of the accident. Whether you were involved in a crash or a slip and fall, photographs will help the courts determine who was at fault. If anyone witnessed the accident, having their contact details can also prove to be helpful. This could help when you get in touch with a lawyer, as well-documented evidence could help assist with navigating the legal process of the case, and determine who’s at fault faster than if there was no evidence to be observed.

    Handling Your Own Claim

    Despite how the evidence presents itself, personal injury cases aren’t often clear cut. This is why personal injury lawyers are crucial. Without an attorney to present your evidence and fight your corner, you might not get the compensation you deserve. Even those with law experience often struggle to present themselves in court, so it’s best that you have an expert by your side. If you live in Nashville, you can try this personal injury lawyer. If you aren’t in that area, make sure to do your research for trustworthy personal injury lawyers around you.  

    Suggesting You’re To Blame

    Accidents inconvenience many people other than just yourself. Because of this, most people’s natural inclination is to apologize, whether they were at fault or not. However, doing so is risky, both for you and your claim. If you were to say you’re sorry, it could be taken as an admission of guilt. This means your claim would be dismissed and you might get into trouble instead. 

    Taking The First Offer

    The first offer made by the defendant is unlikely to be the full settlement you’re due. As tempting as it might be to accept it, you must speak to your attorney first. They can then provide you with the best legal guidance and support and let you know whether you should take the offer or ask for more. A personal injury claim can be a long process, but after being hurt through no fault of your own, you owe it to yourself to get what you deserve. 

    Posting About The Case

    After a traumatic incident, speaking about your feelings can definitely help. However, you must only do so with those you can trust. Posting about the case on social media will put it at risk. After all, anything that you say can be used against you, even when your posts are private. If an insurance company or the defendant wishes to speak to you, give them your lawyer’s number. 

    With the advice above, you’re much more likely to win your personal injury case.

    What You Can Do In 90 Days? Achieve Your Goals

    Do you ever hear people talk specifically about achieving something or giving up something for 90 days? Ever wondered why 90? It’s a significant number in addiction recovery for example when people go for residential addiction treatment they are usually asked to commit to at least 30 days of treatment, and for more deep-rooted addictions, a treatment professional might prescribe long-term treatment which could last for 90 days up to a year. Pink even wrote a song about it on her latest album, but why 90 and what else can you achieve in 90 days?

    A Few Interesting Things About The Number 90

    • According to Thibaut Of Langres, this number symbolizes the angels and 2+4+6+8+10+12+14+16+18 = 90, 
    • The Virgin Mary remained 90 days with Elisabeth for the birth of John the Baptist.
    • In Elides, country of old Greece, there were 90 senators.
    • In 90 places in the New Testament, all the prayers and all the thanksgivings are addressed to the Father. The words crime, sick, Holy Spirit and the verb to punish are used 90 times in the Bible.

    Some people say that successful people plan their lives 90 days at a time because looking ninety days ahead, you have a good idea of what you can get done in that time frame. It means that you can estimate correctly, you are aware of what else might crop up and so you can make some very substantial progress towards a big goal.

    Ninety days is an excellent timeline for planning. It’s long enough to be bold and ambitious and with your goals, and yet it’s still short enough to see the end of it and for it to be a manageable chunk of time.

    As mentioned, it is an essential number in recovery as people say that the first 90 days of recovery are the most important for preventing relapse. Research published in the Psychology of Addictive Behaviors found that the risk for relapse was at the highest rate during the first three months. The study also found that a person in recovery who continues some form of treatment in these first three months had an increased chance of maintaining recovery for the first full year.

    So, without really knowing why 90 or where it came from, it seems like it works, so what can you get done in 90 days? 

    Life changes a lot in a year and things that are relevant now may not be in 12 months, or 12 months seems so far away that you figure you can always start tomorrow. Ninety days, on the other hand, means you can see an end in sight. However, 90 days isn’t too short either but if you have lots of goals and you focus on one for every 90 days rather than trying to do them all at once, then you can achieve so much more in a year. It could be for the first 90 days you focus on getting fit, for the next 90 days you focus on saving money and then the next 90 days you focus on getting a new job? This allows you to think about all spheres of life. 

    So, while we’re still not sure why 90 days, it’s worth giving it a shot to see what you could achieve.
