common injuries after a car accident

Car accidents can be one of the most frightening and confusing experiences that a person can go through. Often the first thing that a person is concerned about following an automobile accident is the damage to their vehicle or their insurance coverage. This results in them neglecting the most important part, which is their individual health. Seeking proper care in a timely fashion is the most vital aspect in determining the overall outcome of your condition. This article is here to help you understand how Dr. Kraft can help motor vehicle accident patients in Oxnard. We hope it helps you to avoid the long-term problems we so often see.


Understanding Car Accidents in Oxnard CA

Here's the scenario...you are sitting in your car at the stoplight, idly thinking about your day ahead, when: BANG! Your car is hit in the back by another vehicle, crushing the trunk and accelerating you forward into the intersection. You sit there, stunned. Your airbags did not deploy. Bystanders come and knock on the window asking if you're OK. You exit the car, shaken when the sound of sirens gets your attention and the police arrive. They start gathering your information and the other driver when the ambulance arrives. The police are concerned and the paramedics speak with you, place you on a spine board, put you in the ambulance, and take you, with the sirens wailing, to the local hospital's emergency department.

The nurses and doctors examine you, obtain x-rays of your neck and back, prescribe medications, and tell you to follow-up with your personal physician. You think "I got away with this; I'm really not hurt."

The next morning you wake stiff, increasingly sore and confused. What do you do? Call me. I will bring you into my office, examine you professionally, with kindness, and start your therapy. I have heard the above scenario literally thousands of times. I know what to do for you.

If you need imaging studies (x-ray, CT, MRI), we will order them. If you need orthopedic doctors, neurologists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, we will refer you to doctors that we trust. If you want to follow up with your primary physician, we agree with this. The insurance company is badgering you? I have a digital Rolodex with professional, competent, and smart attorneys that we will suggest you talk with.

Your injuries do not allow you to return to work? We will certify you for a temporary disability. In other words, we will do whatever it takes to get you back to where you were before your accident.


For Attorneys and Physicians

FOR ATTORNEYS: I have personally taken care of multiple thousands of Personal Injury patients. We are trusted by attorneys and local physicians for the treatment of their clients/patients. We take excellent care of our patients, obtain any diagnostic imaging, or other studies required, refer to physicians, pain management specialists, physical therapists, acupuncturists-we do whatever it takes to get our patients better. Credible reports are generated. I have testified in multiple depositions and in court for million-dollar cases.

We will provide excellent treatment for musculoskeletal conditions arising from injuries. We will provide to you reports of our examination findings and also obtain all hospital emergency department records, imaging studies, and other medical records, which will be forwarded to you. When your patient is Permanent and Stationary/MMI from their injuries, they will be sent back to you for your continuing medical management. And, the kind and compassionate care and treatment we provide for your patients reflects positively on you, the referring physician.

I am looking forward to working with you.
