Whiplash Injuries
Serving West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Lake Worth and the Port St. Lucie area
Whiplash is defined as the resulting injury when the head and neck are suddenly thrown sharply backward and forward again. This movement, which forces the head and neck to move beyond their normal range of motion, can cause tissue damage, as well as severe pain.
Most whiplash cases are a result of rear-end auto accidents but can also be a result of a sports injury or when babies are shaken severely. Typical symptoms of whiplash include:
- Headache
- Neck pain and/or stiffness
- Shoulder pain or pain between the shoulder blades
- Pain in one or both arms
- Lower back pain
- Dizziness
- Vision problems
- Ringing in the ears
- Sore muscles
- Fatigue
It is a common misconception that whiplash injuries only occur as a result of a high-speed car accident. However, severe whiplash can occur if the vehicles are moving at lower rates of speed. It should also be noted that whiplash can still happen even when passengers are wearing seat belts.
If you have sustained injuries as the result of an auto accident or sports injury, it is very important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible. The sooner whiplash is diagnosed the sooner treatment and healing can begin. Your next step should be to seek legal advice regarding your accident. While most symptoms can subside in just a few weeks, more serious cases of whiplash could lead to a life-long change in the quality of your life. In these cases, you want to be sure you get appropriate compensation for present and future medical bills, possible future loss of income and general pain and suffering. Not having an experienced whiplash attorney on your side could lead to a less-than-satisfactory settlement for you.
