Whiplash

Whiplash can occur from a variety of causes but is usually associated with automobile accidents. The movement that leads to possible whiplash is a sharp, sudden forward and backward motion. This action can stretch and strain the ligaments and muscles and injury the soft tissue in the neck and shoulder areas. The resulting pain can be severe. Additional symptoms typically include:
  • Headache
  • Pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders and between shoulder blades
  • Arm and lower back pain
  • Dizziness
  • Vision problems
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Sore muscles
  • Fatigue

Whiplash can result from high speed impacts, as well as low speed impact with the injuries being just as devastating in either case. By seeking medical help as soon as possible following an accident, whiplash can be diagnosed sooner and treatment can begin.

The majority of whiplash symptoms subside in a few weeks. However, some whiplash symptoms can be long-term, possibly leading to a permanent change in the quality of your life. No matter the severity of your injuries, you should never settle for les that you deserve. Our whiplash attorneys understand all that is involved in these situations. Current and future medical bills, possible future loss of income and general pain and suffering are all a strong factor is determining the compensation you should get as a result of another person’s negligence.
