Whiplash Injuries

Whiplash is a term used to describe injury to the neck that occurs when the head is suddenly thrown forward and then backward. The muscles, ligaments, nerves or vertebrae may be seriously damaged by this sharp motion, causing a number of side effects, including: headaches, stiffness in the neck, neck pain, dizziness, loss of mobility in the neck, fatigue, and more. A victim may suffer psychological side effects as well, such as poor concentration, irritability and memory loss.

Auto accidents are the most common cause of whiplash injuries, but these may also occur due to an accident while playing sports or may be caused intentionally when a young child is violently shaken.  Regardless of the cause of your or a loved one’s injuries, it is important to consider consulting an attorney in order to explore your legal options. If someone else’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing was the cause of your whiplash injuries, you may have the right to take legal action against that party in order to recover the financial compensation you need for: medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and possibly more.
