What causes whiplash?

If you or a loved one has experienced whiplash from an accident, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

Whiplash is an injury that may be considered a neck sprain or strain. It is caused by a sudden, hard back-and-forth motion of the neck and is often seen after automobile accidents due to a collision causing a person to jerk back-and-forth in their seat. These injuries are usually treated by pain medications, cooling and warming therapy, a cervical collar or brace to immobilize the neck, and/or physical therapy to regain function and mobility in the neck.

The symptoms of whiplash include neck pain or stiffness, limited range of motion in the neck, headaches, tenderness in the shoulder or arms, blurred vision, fatigue, and dizziness among many other possible symptoms. It may be caused by something besides an automobile accident, too. It may be caused by a contact sports accident, such as a hard tackle. It also may be caused by physical trauma such as a fall downstairs.

If you experience any of the symptoms of whiplash following an accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. Sometimes, the symptoms of whiplash have a delayed onset, so it is important that you get to a doctor before you cause any further damage due to the lack of immediately feeling any symptoms.

If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
