How Do Personal Injuries Occur?
Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States. Every day we have thousands of vehicles on the highways and side streets. Considering all the factors, a vehicle accident is bound to happen. At Criterion Therapy Center we have the staff and resources to help patients recover from automobile accidents.
What constitutes a personal injury? First, an incident or accident caused by a person’s negligence. Secondly, if the incident or accident can be measured by how a prudent person would conduct themselves under similar circumstances. Lastly, can liability be clearly proven? The most common personal injury patients we treat have been involved in vehicle accidents or a slip and fall in a business establishment.
Personal Injury Process
The beginning of the process occurs when an individual is involved in an incident or accident. After the accident occurs one of the three events will occur:
1.) Patient Injured
An injured patient may choose to go to the hospital or seek legal counsel.
2a.) Emergency Center
The hospital will treat any injuries or wounds immediately and recommend a physical therapy clinic.
2b.) Legal Advice
You may seek legal advice and have he or her evaluate the injuries along with the accident details. They will recommend a physical therapy clinic.
3.) Physical Therapy Clinic
Criterion Therapy Center will evaluate the injuries, develop a diagnosis, and rehabilitate the patient.
4.) Patients Medicals
All medicals will be released to the patient for any insurance claims and/or legal representation.
Assessing Patient Expectations?
Criterion Therapy Center is a team of dedicated professionals who adhere to providing the utmost care to each patient we treat. Does it make sense medically? This is the first question we ask before treating a patient.
Once all patient intake forms have been completed, a patient’s injury and pain level will be evaluated. We will decide whether a patient will need physical therapy, medication, surgery, medical braces/bandages, and the time it will take for a full recovery. A staff member will also educate the patient on how our clinic handles personal injury cases.
