Do I need to go to the hospital for 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. This motion causes the bones, discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerves in and around the spine to get damaged.

After an accident causing whiplash, you should seek medical attention right away for a few reasons. By seeing a doctor immediately, you can get diagnosed and treated right away rather than enduring pain and possibly prolonging treatment and the recovery process. If you wait to see a doctor, you might also further damage parts of your neck as you go about your daily activities and tasks since you are unaware of the injury. Some people may assume that it is simply discomforting or natural to feel some pain after an accident, however it could be much more serious than that. You should know what is wrong right away so that you can get it fixed right away.

Additionally, whiplash symptoms often have a delayed onset and may appear a day or two after the accident. In this time, you may worsen the damage in your neck and shoulders and require longer treatment. If you plan on filing a claim for your injuries to receive compensation, it adds credibility and seriousness to your case that you show the insurance companies when you needed medical attention right away rather than waiting to get it.

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