Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, often as a result of a car accident. This rapid movement can stretch or tear the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck. While whiplash symptoms may not appear immediately, they can develop over time and include:
Yes, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you don’t feel any immediate pain. Whiplash symptoms can take time to develop and it’s important to have a history of medical visits for your case.
While it’s always best to seek medical attention promptly, you may still be able to file a claim. However, it’s important to consult with us to discuss your specific situation.
Recovery time for whiplash can vary depending on the severity of the injury. Some people may recover within a few weeks, while others may experience lingering symptoms for months or even years.
If your whiplash injury is expected to cause long-term pain and suffering, you may be entitled to compensation for future losses.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident and are experiencing any symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, or dizziness, it’s important to consult with a medical professional to determine if you have whiplash.
Our team will work to gather all the evidence you need. We may need to gather evidence such as medical records, police reports, and witness statements, but our team of lawyers will do all the heavy lifting so you can focus on recovery.
The length of the legal process for a whiplash claim can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case and the insurance company’s cooperation. However, you should expect a whiplash case to take at least two years.
Yes, you may be able to recover compensation for lost wages if your whiplash injury prevented you from working. Your personal insurance should cover a portion of the lost wages for the first two years.
If we believe that the insurance company is not offering a fair settlement, we may need to take your case to court. Our experienced lawyers will perform all the necessary legal work to fight for the compensation you deserve.
We recommend that you call us as soon as you experience an injury. If you were injured in a car accident and suffered whiplash, call us now! You have up to two years from the date of the accident to sue for additional compensation, so long as you didn’t accept a payout from the at fault insurance company. However, the sooner you call the better!
The kind of compensation you can expect for whiplash depends on the severity of your injury and other factors such as the extent of medical treatment, lost wages/opportunities, lost property, and future expected medical or personal needs.
