At Greene and Phillips, our Alabama, Mississippi and Florida injury lawyers understand that although ATV’s can bring great joy, they also offer little to no protection in the event of a crash. As ATV’s have become more popular, they have also become more unsafe. In recent years, some All-Terrain Vehicle manufacturers have adjusted the size of their ATV’s so that they can fit in the back of pick-up trucks. These changes have caused the wheel bases to become narrower making ATV’s more prone to flip and sometimes roll over. While safety equipment such as helmets or shoulder pads can make riding an ATV safer, they still can’t completely prevent injuries or even fatalities.
According a recent study by the Consumer Products Safety Commission, there are an average of 700 deaths and 135,000 accidents that occur annually to the drivers and passengers of ATV’s. As a result of unsafe designs and manufacturing defects, children and adults have suffered brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and have even suffered fatalities in ATV accidents.
If an ATV crash occurs, here’s what we suggest:
Seek medical care immediately.
Document anything that you can regarding the accident so an investigation can begin, including
Names, numbers addresses of the people involved, including witnesses
Copies of all the insurance information.
You have several options when filing a claim, and the company, the homeowner who provided the vehicle, or the individual who sold the vehicle could be responsible for your injury.

A rotator cuff tear is a shoulder injury, usually resulting from a traumatic injury. This is more common in people whose jobs require heavy lifting such as painters, construction workers, or athletes, but it has also been known to occur with older men and women or victims of automobile accidents. The rotator cuff is comprised of 4 muscles, and if these muscles are torn they can no longer stabilize the shoulder in place. It’s very important to seek medical attention if you feel that you have a rotator cuff tear because this type of injury can range from merely an inflammation of the muscle to a complete tear that may require surgery.
The most common symptom of a rotator cuff tear is pain. Once a muscle is torn, it becomes extremely painful to reach overhead or perform daily activities such as carrying heavy objects or putting on clothes. People have also been known to experience weakness in the shoulder and inability to move the shoulder in any direction without tremendous pain.
Common treatments for mild rotator cuff tears include physical therapy, cortisone injections, and anti-inflammatory medications. However, if these treatments aren’t effective this may require surgery by an orthopedic surgeon.
If you or a loved one suffer from rotator cuff injuries resulting from an accident in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, or throughout the country contact Greene and Phillips injury lawyers today at 1-800-510-1020 for your free consultation.

If you have been in a recent car accident and believe you have a whiplash injury, you may be under the impression that your injury isn’t significant enough to receive financial compensation. Many times individuals who suffer whiplash injuries feel that they have never had a reason to learn the complexities of a personal injury case. While each injury claim is different, as a general rule whiplash is an injury that may entitle you to compensation.
A whiplash injury, most commonly associated with automobile accidents, is caused by the acceleration both forward and backwards of an individuals neck by a force that is usually rapid. When you are involved in an automobile accident your head accelerates at a rate that causes your neck to stretch backward and forward, often times causing damage to your neck or spine. The impact speed can be as low as 10 miles per hour to cause whiplash that needs to be treated. This impact causes the tendons and muscles in your neck to stretch farther than what are normal causing an injury.
Most whiplash injuries are not noticed immediately but many times will manifest themselves within 3-5 days after the accident occurs. Also, there can be a significant injury to your neck and back even if there is little to no damage to your vehicle. Please make sure to continue to seek medical treatment for your Whiplash injury to rule out any additional medical issues that the car accident may have caused.
If you have been a victim of a Alabama, Mississippi or Florida car accident that has resulted in a whiplash injury, please contact the Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida Injury Lawyer team at Greene and Phillips for a free evaluation of your case to guarantee you get the compensation you are entitled. To talk to a lawyer today call 1-888-510-1020, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Unfortunately, accidents happen, and if you’re involved in one, you may not know what to do afterwards. The lawyers at Greene and Phillips say the first thing you should do is call the police. If you are injured, let them know that you need medical help. Then, call an attorney who deals with auto accident victims.
If you are the victim, be sure to take plenty of pictures with your cell phone if you don’t have a camera handy. You should also gather the names and phone numbers of all witnesses. While you are waiting for police. A photo is worth a thousand words.
It is not the police’s responsibility to investigate your case. The police play an important roll as they officially document accident actually occurred.
If you are in pain at the scene, go to the emergency room immidiately. The longer you wait to seek medical attention, the harder it is to point to the accident as the source of injuries. Many times people are hurt in the accident, and say “I’m going to suck it up”. Sometimes the pain ends up getting worse. You need to protect your
rights. You don’t want a gap in treatment.
It is important to hire an attorney who has experience with auto accident cases. There are a lot of things that
need to be done by a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your legal rights.
If you witness an auto accident, take pictures of the scene with your cell phone camera, and offer to talk to the police. It will be helpful to police and the victim if you give your name and phone number to them to include in the report.
