What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?

Whiplash is a common injury following a motor vehicle accident. What are the common symptoms of whiplash? Well, freeadvice.com offers a good answer to this question. Here it is:

“Symptoms of whiplash can vary, but the more common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, persistent neck pain and stiffness for weeks, months, even years, and numbness or a “pins-and-needles” sensation in the arms. If you suspect you have suffered a whiplash injury, it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. You will want to make sure that the doctor determines the degree, depth and length of the injury as well as the pain generated. The specifics by the doctor — and why — are absolutely vital in establishing the value of your whiplash injury claim. A simple notation on the doctor’s records of “whiplash” does not carry much weight at settlement time.”

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
