HELP! What do I do if I’m in an auto accident??

We treat many people in our office that have been involved in Car accidents. I get lots of questions from my car accident patients because car accidents are one of those life events that don’t happen often. Like buying a car, or having a child, we are thrust into a situation that we don’t have much experience in. Insurance rules can be very confusing and that is one of the things my office can help you with. Here are two scenarios to example what to do in an auto accident situation:

Scenario #1

You’ve just been rear-ended

Call your insurance company to inform them of the accident and be sure to mention that you will be seeking medical care. Your insurance company will give you a claim number that you bring with you to your first appointment. Then call the insurance company of the at-fault party. From the at-fault insurance, get a claim number that you will use to repair your vehicle, or pay it off if it is totaled. This insurance is also ultimately responsible for all injury care that you receive. {Which means after all treatment is complete your insurance company will be reimbursed by the at-fault company}

Scenario #2

You are at fault

Call your insurance company to inform them of the accident and be sure to mention that you will be seeking medical care. Your insurance will be paying for your damaged vehicle as well as your medical care but in this scenario, there could be deductibles. Straight Up Chiropractic covers your personal injury protection deductible for you so you can get the care you need without worrying about the cost.

Accidents are stressful, confusing and all around no fun! We have lots of experience with auto accidents and insurance –  If you or someone you care about has been in an accident, your fault or not, give us a call. We would love to talk about your scenario, treat your injuries and get you back to living your life

What should I have for lunch today?

If you finding yourself wondering…”hrm, what should I have for lunch today?” Here are my 5 favorite places to grab a quick lunch around the office.

1. Jersey Mikes – I know that this little sandwich gem has been around for a while now but I only recently found its glory. Fresh cut meats and cheeses, freshly baked bread and lots of veggies. Jersey’s, as I call it, is superior to Subway and Jimmy Johns in a big way.

2. Sawatdee Thai – I love Thai food and Sawatdee has very good Pad Thai and Cashew Chicken. Not much else to say other than they are also very affordable at lunchtime.

3. Mod Pizza – Super fun “Subway style” pizza place. Pick your size, pick as many toppings as you want and they bake it in their cool oven. The price is good, the pizza is great and the choices are endless, all the things you want in a lunch place. Pro Tip: The chocolate shake with toffee bits is superb.

4. Yens Chinese Restaurant – To be honest, I didn’t know what this place was called. It is the place in old town Tigard with the big golden dragon. Okay, this place has legit deliciousness. I am a BBQ Pork and/or sweet and sour anything fan and Yens delivers. Great price for lunch, super filling and pretty quick. All good things.

5. Sanchez Taqueria – To keep this short and sweet, if you are in the mood for Mexican food, go to Sanchez! Great burritos, tacos, and enchiladas. I haven’t had anything else from there but judging by these, everything must be good.

Happy Eating!
