we sometimes see the left hip striking the door of the automobile or the right hip striking the console that sits between the seats. Again, we must closely examine the type of wreck and from there determine what injuries might have been caused by the accident. This is one of the many reasons why we ask our clients to help us help them by sending us as many property damage photos as possible and getting an independent estimate on their car and getting their car on an alignment machine to see if it tracks straight or is warped. If it’s warped that’s usually a sign that there is frame damage to the car and our client might be entitled to additional money beyond repair known as a diminution in value claim.
