Sleep

The older I get the more I come to realize how important it is too sleep well. Sleeping well is incredibly important to our overall health and well being.

In the last twenty years a lot of research has gone into studying sleep and the effects of good or poor sleep on over all health.

As a personal injury lawyer for over thirty years I have met and got to know thousands of people who have been hurt in car accidents or fallen and hurt themselves. And having seen so many injured clients I have noticed certain patterns.

Keep in mind that I am not a medical doctor. But much of what I have seen and noticed over the years is now being discussed and supported by modern medicine.

One of the things that I have noticed over the years is that many clients who have difficulty sleeping also seem to have more difficulty recovering from their injuries.

In some cases poor sleep combined with ongoing pain leads to depression. And in my experience it seems to me that people who have a history of anxiety or depression have more difficulty recovering from a car accident or fall if they are unable to sleep well.

It can become a vicious cycle and can lead to chronic pain syndrome.

In these cases it is extremely important to have a supportive family doctor and a supportive family. Because there will be a lot of stress.

It is also extremely important to have a lawyer on your side who understands the consequences of poor sleep and possible consequent depression. Because if your own lawyer doesn’t understand what you are experiencing then how in the world will your own lawyer be able to advocate on your behalf against the insurance company.

If you have been in a car accident or you have had a fall and you need a lawyer feel free to give me a call. There is no fee for calling and you don’t pay any fees unless we win and only at the end.
