What happens if you leave whiplash untreated?

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 can possibly show a delayed onset of symptoms. This can be dangerous since a person may walk away from an accident feeling no immediate pain or discomfort in their neck, but they may feel it worsen in the next few days. This may cause them to worsen the condition of their injury in the meantime. After an accident, it is very important that you seek immediate medical attention so that you can prevent this.

If you do leave whiplash untreated, you risk experiencing chronic pain in the neck, chronic headaches or migraines, and bouts of dizziness or vertigo. Also, these issues can cause discomfort and pain while sleeping, thus leading to insomnia. Depending on what parts of the neck and vertebrae were most affected, you could experience degenerative disc disease, a spinal fracture, nerve damage, and much more. It is much wiser to see a doctor and allow them to treat you immediately for your injuries rather than deal with more painful injuries over a longer period of time for a higher cost.

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