OverlookedInjury.com - The Guide for Plaintiff’s Representative's
About Us
The Overlooked Injuries website was created to inform and educate plaintiff’s attorneys to maximize settlement valuation related to the medical components of a bodily injury claim.
Recognizing that there are seven (7) predominant Injury Severity Types that often go overlooked in auto accident cases, this site was designed as a platform where trained medical experts could educate plaintiff's attorneys about injuries that many are unfamiliar with.

Realizing that is a lot to leave on the table, this site was born.
This site is growing to be able to educate plaintiff’s representatives about other injuries that many providers and ER rooms miss. Courses are CEU and CLE accredited. Some of the injuries require special x-ray positioning, some take up to 2 months to show, some are missed due to lack of questioning of the injured party and some are just plain unknown to evaluators and administrators.
You can be sure however that the insurers are aware of these injuries, in fact they refer to them as “DECISION POINTS”.
The insurers have set-aside case settlement reserves for each injury “decision point” based on their own formula called:
The Decision Point To Dollar Translation Multiplier Formula
We want you to know about medical “Decision Points” that translate into a settlement valuation based on each insurer’s rate. With each missing decision point, there will be missing settlement valuation.
