Personal Injuries Q & A

What are personal injuries?

A personal injury results when you experience harm that’s the legal responsibility of an employer, another person, a business, or any third party that didn’t keep you safe. This could be a slip-and-fall injury, an accident on the job, or getting rear-ended by an intoxicated driver.

Why do I need to seek care right away for personal injuries?

If you’re involved in an accident, call South Texas Pain Institute as soon as possible. Prompt treatment minimizes your pain and trauma, and it also helps your provider document the extent of your injuries, which is essential for ensuring accountability in the case of a lawsuit.

South Texas Pain Institute puts your needs first and helps you collect vital information to ensure you receive fair treatment. The information can help you seek reimbursement, file insurance claims, address lost wages, and receive compensation for pain and suffering.
