Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road traffic injuries are a neglected global pandemic. Up to 50 million people a year worldwide are injured or disabled in car accidents. The deleterious impact on the global economy is immense. Thousands of those injured die of opiate overdoses, trying to deal with chronic pain. The post-accident life of a survivor is all too often devastated by spinal or severe orthopedic injuries, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep disturbances, mild episodic or chronic pain, and/or a traumatic brain injury that can cause personality changes, cognitive and memory impairments, and debilitating fatigue. A substantially reduced quality of life with career changes and setbacks, broken and overstressed relationships, and financial hardships that continue for many years, often ensue. First Responders, healthcare providers, the survivors’ community and to the largest degree, the survivors’ family, are forced to deal with the staggering impacts. Auto accidents can dramatically alter lives, forever. Where do survivors and their families go for help? How do survivors heal and get their lives back? Everyone is desperate for hope and evidence-based solutions to manage disabling conditions and ultimately reclaim their lives. Thisis the first book to offer comprehensive, evidence-based information to both the survivors and their caregivers on understanding, managing, and healing physical and emotional traumas sustained in auto accidents. Based on James Zender's more than fifteen years’ experience as a clinical psychologist specializing in auto-accident trauma care, Recovering From Your Car Accident leads survivors and their families through the extensive process of emotional and physical recovery. With empathy and compassion, Dr. Zender explains how to conquer the multitude of challenges that often result from auto accidents, including managing pain, depression, and anxiety, addressing concerns about the future and finances, personality changes, emotional and cognitive dysfunction, post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and strained personal relationships. Through stories recounted by Dr. Zender's patients, survivors will learn that they are not alone and that there is hope for a better tomorrow. Policymakers will gain insight into accident prevention and will be inspired to implement policy improvements to better meet the needs of the auto accident community. Helpful tips throughout this book and a resource section featuring the best online and community support options will aid survivors and their families with rehabilitation. Recovering from Your Car Accident willassist survivors with rebuilding their lives and discovering new ways to thrive.
Download or read book Psychology of Accident Victims in India written by Deepika Sharma and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the psychological journey of accident survivors with locomotor disability, as they move from processes of suffering to healing. It provides a holistic understanding of disability by looking into the embodied understanding of the body as shaped by the socio-political and cultural discourses around impairment. The book addresses the lack of critical qualitative research on the health and well-being of those with disabilities by developing a nuanced understanding of the experiences of people with disabilities (PWDs). It showcases the challenges PWDs face and process of recovery and regaining agency through interviews and personal narratives. It also highlights the help and support they require and the steps we need to take to better understand and address the everyday needs of PWDs. An important addition to the research on disability studies in the Global South, this book will be of interest to researchers and students of disability studies, critical health psychology, mental health of vulnerable populations and sociology as well as professionals working in the area of health and rehabilitation. People engaged in policymaking related to disability services, rehabilitation and rights will also find this book helpful.

Download or read book Collision on I 75 written by Lawrence David Weiss and published by American Public Health Association. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collision on I-75 tells an extraordinary public health story that has not been told before, and it tells it in a compelling and exciting way. It details over two decades of struggle by public health professionals, legislators, state officials, and law enforcement to compel a huge corporation to prevent deadly, suspected industrial-fog-related collisions. A couple of weeks before Christmas in 1990, nearly one hundred vehicles collided on Interstate-75 northeast of Chattanooga in an unusually dense fog bank, leaving 12 dead and dozens seriously injured. Within days of the collision, Attorney Douglas Fees was contacted by Evelyn Piper whose son, Craig, had burned to death in the cab of his truck on I-75. Fees became the lead attorney in the case, eventually representing nearly all the accident victims who sought legal assistance. It became clear to Fees that the cause of the tragedy was an artificial industrial fog that originated at the Bowater pulp mill a couple of miles up the valley from where the collision occurred. Bowater was the largest pulp mill in the United States, and the largest employer and landowner in Tennessee. This is the true story of a tragic incident involving large numbers of people, corporate negligence, faulty state regulation, and a risk-taking attorney in pursuit of uncertain compensation for the victims and himself.

Download or read book You re Not a Dummy written by David M. Warwick and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have been recently injured in a car accident, you are probably confused and worried about what to do next. I bet you are asking yourself questions like the following: "Will my car be repaired?" "Will my medical bills be paid?" "Will I ever get better?" "Will I be paid for the time I'm missing from work?" "What do I do if the other person doesn't have car insurance?" "What will the insurance company offer me for my injuries?" If you or someone you care about has any of these concerns, please keep reading this special Car Accident Victim's Guide. My name is David M. Warwick, D.C, and I've been helping injured people get fast relief from auto accident injuries in Lacey / Olympia for almost 20 years. Whiplash injury is a "very real" problem that costs communities billions in health care and disability dollars. Studies have recently shown that about 10-20% of the population suffers from neck pain, and car accidents/traumas are a big cause of this type of pain. But you've probably wondered how something as minor as a fender-bender to your bumper could be such a pain in neck..... Maybe your doctor told you "give it a couple of weeks.."."you'll be fine." But you're not fine. Your neck hurts when you work at the computer, when the dog pulls too hard on the leash... maybe sleep has become more difficult with a lot of tossing and turning, or you've become dizzy...or always tired when you used to be full of energy and pep. Maybe you've noticed how your neck moves differently since the accident. Looking over the shoulder perhaps isn't as easy as before. Does all of this sound familiar? It's quite surprising when you look at whiplash research and its global impact-the entire body is affected. You probably didn't think that headaches or fatigue were part of the whiplash bargain, but they are. Don't take my word for it.....I have included a sample of my many satisfied patients that have written testimonials. I have also included a collection of the most relevant articles I have published in my popular "In Good Hands" newsletter over the last few years. It's easy to make your first appointment with me. All you have to do is call my office today at (360) 951-4504 and schedule an evaluation to see if we can help you. We'll do everything possible to get you in the same day...even if we have to stay late or work through lunch! You're too young to suffer with terrible auto accident injuries. Let's handle them today. Ok, here's what to do right now... Call (360) 951-4504 Today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trial Attorney Joe Miller answers what is probably the most common question asked by car accident victims: How long is this going to take before I get my money for my injuries. This entire book is the detailed response to that question, gleaned from 25 years of representing injured victims. The answer which boils down to two essential elements: One must first know the limits of available insurance coverage and the other is the medical treatment required for the injured victim's injuries. Those items, which are mostly---but not entirely, out of the client's control will determine how long the case will last.
