Going through the experience of being in a car accident is nothing short of devastating. It does not matter if you are the driver, passenger, or pedestrian. Few other situations have the power to cause stress, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty all at once like a car accident. Being injured in the accident only makes matters worse as it heightens the trauma not only physically, but mentally and emotionally, as well.
If someone asked you, “What is the most common pet in American culture?” You would probably shrug and reply, “A dog.” While dogs are definitely in the top three, they are not actually the most popular pet.

Have you been injured in a car accident involving a driver that is insured by GEICO and wonder why the insurance company refuses to pay your medical bills or compensate you for pain and suffering? You are not the only one. GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company) has a policy to refuse to pay legitimate injury claims when the motor vehicle collision involves a “low impact collision.” If the GEICO insurance adjustor believes the property damage to your vehicle is minor, the adjustor will refuse to compensate you for your personal injury claim as a matter of company policy. GEICO has taken this position to save money.

Plaintiff accidentally stepped off the bridge and injured her neck.
