Have You Suffered Whiplash from Being Involved in a Car Accident?

One of the most common injuries from being involved in a car accident is commonly known as “whiplash”.  Medically speaking, the whiplash from being involved in a car accident is described as a neck injury that can occur when the head suddenly moves backwards and then forwards. They can also be diagnosed as neck strain/sprain as a result of a motor vehicle accident. The physics that causes this type of injury is typically from a rear end impact, as opposed to a side swipe or t-bone type collision.

Many people that are involved in significant car accidents will feel these type of neck pains and may even believe they may resolve on their own. As a result, they will not seek medical attention fearing the medical bills. Further, they will not speak with an attorney thinking that their neck pain will resolve on its own and they do not want to get involved with a lawsuit.

Unfortunately, in many instances, these type of neck complaints may get worse over time. If you have not properly seen medical providers to document your complaints of injuries, and wait months before seeking any medical treatment, you may have significantly hurt your case. It is very important to seek immediate medical attention following a motor vehicle accident so that your injuries can be properly evaluated and treated. Furthermore, although you may incur medical expenses, if the accident was not your fault, you will be able to make a claim for your expenses and recover these damages in a lawsuit. Therefore, it is imperative to get proper medical evaluation and treatment. Many people regret not doing so later when their injuries worsen or do not resolve on their own.
