Numerous
studies have shown that years after whiplash victims settle their
insurance claims, roughly half of them state that they still suffer
with symptoms from their injuries.
If you have been involved in a car
accident, whiplash injuries need to be taken very seriously. Because
symptoms of a whiplash injury can take weeks or months to manifest, it
is easy to be fooled into thinking that you are not as injured as you
really are.
Too often people don't seek treatment
following a car accident because they don't feel hurt. By far, the most
common injury to the neck is a whiplash injury.Whiplash is caused by a
sudden movement of the head, either backward, forward, or sideways,
that results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and
other connective tissues in the neck and upper back.
Unfortunately, by the time more serious
complications develop, some of the damage from the injury may have
become permanent.Numerous studies have shown that years after whiplash
victims settle their insurance claims, roughly half of them state that
they still suffer with symptoms from their injuries. If you have been
in a motor vehicle or any other kind of accident, don't assume that you
escaped injury if you are not currently in pain. Contact us today!
