Should I go to the ER 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.

Whiplash is not an injury to take lightly since it can actually be a part of something very serious. You should definitely seek medical attention at an emergency room right after the accident to avoid further damage to the neck and shoulders area, get treated as soon as possible in order to avoid prolonging treatment, and build a more credible injury claim for the insurance companies. 

But also, whiplash is an injury to the neck and shoulders, which can be a very sensitive and delicate place to damage. Beneath the neck is your spinal cord, and any damage to this can cause very serious and permanent damage. By getting diagnosed at the ER with the help of tests such as an X-ray or CT scan, your doctor can see if there is any other damage that occurred along with the whiplash. Some severe cases may be accompanied by a spinal fracture or a spinal cord injury. Catching these conditions early is very important in treating them properly, quickly, and efficiently. It is certainly not worth the risk to wait to see a doctor until the pain gets unbearable and there may be permanent damage.

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