Understanding Hip Pain After Car Accident
Hip injuries from car accidents are common but often overshadowed by more obvious neck and back complaints. The hip joint can be damaged by direct impact (knee hitting the dashboard), rotational forces, or the seatbelt loading across the pelvis. Common accident-related hip injuries include labral tears, hip bursitis, sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, and hip flexor strains. Left untreated, these injuries can lead to altered gait patterns that cause secondary problems in the knees, ankles, and lower back.

Arkansas is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident (or their insurance company) is responsible for paying your medical expenses and other damages. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Arkansas is 3 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. Arkansas uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Arkansas and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
