PERSONAL INJURY TREATMENT SERVICES IN CHICAGOLAND

Providing the best treatment for personal injuries.

Dedicated to Patient Advocacy

Personal Injury cases, whether the result of a car accident, a dog bite, or a slip and fall, can be difficult to navigate the legal paperwork as well as the journey to wellness. While most pain management doctors in the United States are not both board-certified and fellowship-trained, each physician at MAPS Centers For Pain Control is – meaning you will receive only the most up to date and the highest level of care available in the United States. If you’re suffering from an injury, contact MAPS to schedule a consultation:

What Are Personal Injuries?

Personal injury is a legal term that’s used when someone is harmed due to another entity’s actions or negligence. For example, if you slip because a restaurant has wet floors, or if someone hits you with their car, you’ve sustained a personal injury. While injuries are usually associated with physical harm, they can also have emotional or psychological effects. These include anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The Cost of Injuries

According to the Center for Disease Control, each year costs more than $670 billion in medical and work loss costs due to personal injuries and accidents – but that does not factor the psychological aspects of injuries, chronic pain, or the impact it has on families across the country.

MAPS helps patients recover from personal injuries through innovative, groundbreaking medical treatments that address every aspect of their injury, providing the highest level of medical care and compassion for our patients’ well-being.

What Should I Do After a Personal Injury Accident?

Have you experienced a personal injury? Here’s what you should do:

  • Seek medical attention: Those who are seriously injured should call an ambulance or seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s worth consulting a healthcare professional.
  • Take photos: If possible, take photos of the scene. These photographs should include the environment, your injuries and any unsafe conditions that may have contributed to the accident (such as poor lighting or road hazards).
  • Gather evidence: In addition to taking photos, keep detailed records about medical treatments, expenses, insurance claims and anything else that’s related to the injury.
  • Contact your insurance provider: Depending on the injury, you may want to contact your insurance provider. For example, you should notify your automobile insurance provider after a car accident.
  • Consult a personal injury lawyer: Personal injury attorneys provide legal advice about injury claims and help ensure you’re compensated fairly.
  • Seek personal injury treatment: Injuries can have long-lasting repercussions. If you’re dealing with pain, and your medical treatments aren’t helping, consider seeking treatment at a pain clinic.
  • Get a referral: Before providing treatment, the pain clinic may ask for a referral from your doctor. A referral confirms that you need personal injury treatment and can help with insurance coverage.

Because of our extensive services, both in medical offerings as well as our streamlined processes, we can provide our patients with everything they need to get better.

We Provide Treatments for the Following Personal Injuries:

  • Car Accidents: You may get into a car accident due to someone else’s reckless driving. Common injuries include whiplash, fractures, soft tissue injuries and head trauma.
  • Slips and Falls: Hazardous conditions, such as slippery floors or uneven surfaces, can cause falls. Bad falls may lead to sprains, fractures and head injuries.
  • Sports Accidents: Sports accidents can include contact injuries (like collisions) or non-contact injuries (like sprains and strains). While some injuries are a regular risk of playing sports, others are caused by athletes not following the rules.
  • Workplace Accidents: Injuries that occur when someone is performing their job duties are known as “workplace accidents.” Your workplace may be liable if it contributed to unsafe conditions.
  • Traumatic Accidents: This refers to severe injuries caused by unexpected, extreme events. Examples include injuries due to explosions, natural disasters or major vehicle collisions.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: Unsafe road conditions increase the risk of motorcycle accidents. Victims may experience road rash, head trauma, fractures and spinal cord injuries.
