Strains/Sprains
Typical strains and sprains come from overuse, but in an accident, it can be caused by an overextension or twist of a tendon or ligament.

Who is Covered Under PIP?
Check your car insurance policy yet it is standard, you and those passengers in your care are covered. Even if the accident is not your fault, you report it to your own insurance company, and they will cover your medical bills initially. After reporting it to your insurance company it is good advice to retain a personal injury attorney to talk to them and anyone else involved so you can focus on getting better.
What Is Personal Injury Protection in Utah?
Personal Injury Protection is the part of your car insurance which will cover your medical expenses and those of your passengers initially for all their medical expenses, too. This is the insurance used first to cover yourself. (It is a great idea to call your insurance agent and raise your PIP to the maximum allowed by your insurance company. You are required to have $3000 however, one ambulance ride, helicopter ride or trip to the ER and that can already be gone that day.

What Should I Look For In A Chiropractor?
You may be surprised to discover, in the state of Utah, chiropractic physicians are primary care physicians. That’s why you can go to them first unless you have serious bleeding, bones exposed or are unconscious, etc. Then it is the ER for you first.
It may also surprise you to know, to be licensed to practice chiropractic in the state of Utah, a Doctor of Chiropractic has 900 more professional hours of education than a medical doctor fresh out of school. And those hours are deep studies of anatomy, nutrition and other topics to help you get and stay healthy.
Then in addition to graduating from an accredited chiropractic university, they should have an active license in UT and additional certification related to personal injury. The most comprehensive is the Motor Vehicle Collision Occupant Injury Certification program through Personal Injury Training Institute. Any physician or attorney who is certified in this course is likely to have more knowledge than most in the state. It can also be helpful to have certifications in specific chiropractic manipulations and extremities etc.
