Do You Need Financial Relief After a Whiplash Injury?

It’s a violent shock. You’re in the car and another car hits you. Your head jerks back and forth. Whiplash.

It’s one of the most common car accident injuries. It got its name, according to the Mayo Clinic, because your neck moves like the cracking of a whip.

Rear-end collisions are the most likely cause.

Whiplash can be tricky because it can take hours or days before you realize you have it.

After an accident disrupts your life, work with a skilled personal injury lawyer to get every injury you suffer fully accounted for and compensated. Don’t leave something out that the negligent driver or their insurance company should be paying for.

    How to Know You Have a Whiplash Injury after a Car Accident

    The Mayo Clinic lists symptoms that could mean you have whiplash:

    • Neck pain
    • Stiffness
    • Pain when you move your neck
    • Inability to move your neck like normal
    • Dizziness
    • Headaches
    • Arm, shoulder and upper back pain
    • Numbness and tingling in your arms
    • Fatigue
    • Blurry vision
    • Ringing ears (tinnitus)
    • Mood problems
    • Sleep problems
    • Difficulty focusing
    • Depression

    You could experience symptoms of whiplash immediately after a wreck. But the Cleveland Clinic says it also can take hours or days.

    The rear-end collisions that cause whiplash are extremely common. They represent about 40 percent of all car crashes, said the National Safety Council, a non-profit group.

    If your whiplash injury did in fact come from a rear-end collision, you can look for several signs of negligence—and therefore legal liability—on the part of the driver who crashed into you. We’ll discuss that more below.

    You can seek compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. If they don’t cooperate, you can file a personal injury lawsuit.

    You only pay your HNB car accident lawyer when you win compensation.

    Tell the HNB injury attorneys about your whiplash, what happened in the accident and how the pain appeared. We’ll evaluate your case without cost or obligation.

    How to Make a Claim for Whiplash Injury after a Car Accident

    Just because pain, stiffness or other discomfort appears later, it doesn’t mean you can’t add it to your car accident claim.

    It’s important to document, report and claim compensation for every side effect of your collision.

    Medical evidence will be one of the most important parts of your whiplash injury claim. Your evidence can include:

    • A record of your diagnosis of whiplash
    • Diagnostic test results
    • Medical imaging that confirms whiplash
    • Treatment details
    • Medical bills for whiplash care
    • Records from your doctor from before the accident—to show your injury didn’t actually come from something earlier

    When it was a rear-end collision, the negligent driver could’ve been distracted, following too close, speeding, impaired or driving erratically.

    All of those factors can go into proving negligence on the part of the other driver—which is the core of a personal injury claim.

    An experienced personal injury lawyer knows what medical evidence you need to show a whiplash injury, and what signs and evidence establish the other driver’s negligence.

    HNB fights for you to get what’s fair after and injury—restoring you financially to where you were before, helping you reclaim your life.
