What “Severity Of The Injury” Means
Injury severity is the principal driver of claim value: the nature of the harm, its treatment course, its permanence, and its impact on work and life. A sprain and a spinal fusion occupy different universes of valuation — and severity is measured by medical evidence, not by how a crash “looked.”
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
The vehicle-damage fallacy is the insurer’s favorite severity argument: minimal property damage, therefore minimal injury. Medicine says otherwise — low-speed collisions produce real spinal and soft-tissue injuries — and our $225,000 recovery on a “minimal damage” commercial rear-end proved it with causation work. McKay Law establishes severity properly: complete diagnosis (MRI over guesswork, as Lindsey’s videos urge), specialist care, and permanence documented before any number is discussed.
