Arrowhead Clinic, a leading auto accident injury treatment provider serving Georgia, has released a comprehensive educational resource addressing the often-overlooked connection between low-speed vehicle collisions and serious soft tissue injuries. The new resource, available at https://www.arrowheadclinic.com/category/blog/how-low-speed-collisions-can-cause-soft-tissue-damage, provides critical information for accident victims who may face insurance claim challenges despite sustaining legitimate injuries.
The educational guide addresses a significant disconnect in the insurance industry where low-speed collisions producing minimal vehicle damage often result in denied or undervalued injury claims. According to recent biomechanics research cited in the resource, 68 percent of occupants in accidents under 15 mph experience serious soft tissue injuries, yet insurance settlements for these cases average only $8,400, approximately 72 percent below fair value according to Insurance Research Council data.
"Many accident victims don't realize that the human body's injury threshold occurs at much lower speeds than the threshold for visible vehicle damage," said Dr. Harry Brown of Arrowhead Clinic. "This creates a situation where patients with legitimate soft tissue injuries struggle to receive appropriate compensation and treatment because their vehicle shows minimal damage. Our goal with this resource is to educate both patients and legal professionals about the science behind these injuries."
The comprehensive guide explains the biomechanics of soft tissue injury, detailing how the human body responds differently than vehicle structures during collisions. It addresses the delayed symptom development that often occurs with soft tissue injuries, which can manifest days or weeks after an accident. The resource also covers related injuries including those from airbag injuries, which can compound soft tissue damage even in low-speed collisions.
Arrowhead Clinic's approach to treating these injuries combines advanced diagnostic imaging with specialized chiropractic care and medical evaluation. The clinic's team of chiropractors and medical doctors focuses on documenting and treating the full scope of accident-related injuries, providing crucial medical documentation for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
"The low-damage collision paradox represents a significant challenge in personal injury medicine," noted Dr. Brown. "By providing this educational resource, we're helping accident victims understand their injuries and navigate the complex intersection of medical treatment and insurance claims. Proper documentation and treatment are essential for recovery, regardless of how minor the vehicle damage appears."
The resource release coincides with increased awareness about the importance of immediate medical evaluation following any vehicle collision, regardless of speed or apparent damage. Patients seeking additional information can connect with Arrowhead Clinic on Facebook for updates and educational content about accident injury treatment and recovery.
