Whiplash is one of the most common crash injuries, and also one of the most underestimated. Many individuals may feel "fine" immediately after a collision, only to awaken the following day experiencing persistent neck pain, headaches, stiffness, dizziness, or numbness. Insurance companies often try to label whiplash as minor or unrelated. This is why obtaining early medical documentation is crucial, along with maintaining consistent treatment and keeping clear records of how the injury impacts your work and daily life. Our new article on DennisHernandez.com This article outlines the causes and symptoms of whiplash, the criteria that medical professionals assess, and your legal options under Florida law if your injury resulted from someone else's negligence. Read the full article to learn what steps protect both your health and your claim:

Worried a car accident could put your immigration status at risk? That fear keeps too many people from getting medical care and protecting their rights.⚖️ The essential point to understand is that the accident itself does not typically lead to deportation concerns. The real risk often arises from circumstances surrounding the accident, such as serious criminal charges, convictions, or fleeing the scene. Therefore, your actions, statements, and the manner in which the incident is reported are crucial. If you were hurt, you still have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In many cases, the claim is against an insurance policy, not “the system.” Getting guidance early can help you avoid mistakes that insurers and defense lawyers look for. Our new article on DennisHernandez.com explains the real legal risks, what to do after a crash, and how Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys fight to get you paid. We have recovered millions and millions for injured clients. Read the full article to learn more:

Leave it on too long, or press ice directly on skin, and you can irritate tissue or cause a cold burn. Do it correctly, and you may calm inflammation and recover faster. Our new article on DennisHernandez.com breaks down how long to ice an injury, how often to repeat it, and when swelling or pain may signal something more serious after an accident.

A slip and fall in Sarasota can feel minor at first, until the pain shows up later and the insurance company starts asking questions. What you do next can protect both your health and your claim. The right checklist matters: get medical care, report the incident, document the hazard, collect witness information, and avoid recorded statements until you understand what is being asked. Small details, like photos and timelines, often decide whether a case is taken seriously or denied. Our new article on DennisHernandez.com lays out a clear post-accident checklist for slip and fall injuries, including common mistakes that reduce compensation and steps that help preserve evidence. At Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys, we have recovered millions and millions for injured clients. We fight to get you paid! Read the full article to save the checklist and protect your rights:

Some car accidents in Fort Myers make no sense at first. No clear reason, conflicting stories, and drivers blaming each other. In those cases, the truth is often in the evidence, not the opinions. When fault is unclear, crash reconstruction can be the difference between getting dismissed and getting paid. Skilled experts can analyze vehicle damage, skid marks, black box data, phone records, and surveillance footage to show what really happened, and who caused it. That matters because Florida claims often turn on details like speed, braking, right of way, and whether a driver was distracted. Our new article on DennisHernandez.com explains how unexplained crashes are investigated, how fault is determined, and why crash reconstruction is so powerful when insurance companies deny responsibility. At Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys, we have recovered millions and millions for injured clients. We fight to get you paid! Read the full article to learn how these cases are built:
