After an accident, severe neck pain due to stress or overstretching the muscle may be the first sign of a whiplash injury. If you have recently been involved in a car crash or have been diagnosed with whiplash, then it may be in your best interests to discuss your legal options and determine whether or not you have grounds for a valid claim.
At Moore Law Firm, we are committed to advocating for our clients’ rights. We can help you hold others accountable for causing your accident that led to your whiplash injury.
Understanding the Impact of Whiplash Injuries
Often enough, people do not take whiplash injuries very seriously. Perhaps they ignore the pain, thinking it will eventually go away on its own. However, it may come to the paint where the pain becomes so unbearable that it can no longer be ignored.
These are some of the most common symptoms of a whiplash injury:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Dizziness
- Shoulder pain
- Stiffness
- Jaw pain
- Arm pain
- Arm weakness
- Ringing in the ears
Accidents where the individual is struck at an angle, such as a side-impact or rear-end collision, are often the largest cause of whiplash injuries. The dramatic force of the vehicle causes the neck to move abruptly, even unnaturally. As such, these are often complex cases, requiring not only in-depth medical investigation but also the legal aspects of your case.
