Whiplash Injuries
While whiplash is most commonly associated with automobile collisions, you could also suffer this injury in other accidents such as slips and falls. Basically, whiplash is a sprain or strain of the neck that can cause discomfort and even severe pain that may impact your ability to complete daily tasks, including job-related activities. Overall, whiplash can seriously damage the intervertebral joints, muscles, and other ligaments in the neck area, often requiring costly medical care.
If you or a loved one has suffered from whiplash after a personal injury accident, you may be eligible for financial compensation to cover medical bills and lost wages. To discuss your legal options, contact a San Diego personal injury attorney of Ritter & Associates today at (619) 296-0123.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
Whiplash can cause a number of painful side effects that may interrupt your daily life. Symptoms of whiplash can show up immediately after the accident or may take months to surface. Some of the most common whiplash symptoms include the following:
- Trouble moving you head or neck
- Pain in neck, shoulders, and even lower back
- Trouble remembering the accident
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue
If you have suffered whiplash in an accident caused by another person, you need to take legal action and fight for financial compensation to pay for lost wages and other damages.
