Being in a motor vehicle crash can be a terrifying experience, even if you are lucky enough to escape with no lasting injuries. Unfortunately, many automobile collision survivors develop debilitating whiplash, which is painful neck or head pain.

A knowledgeable Stockton whiplash injury lawyer can protect your legal rights and help you assess what options for legal relief are available to you. Speak with our catastrophic injury attorneys today.
Although most people are familiar with the term whiplash, not many people are aware of how serious of a medical condition it can be. Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when someone’s head moves rapidly back and forth. The fast snapping motion of the neck results in a soft-tissue type of injury that often occurs in motor vehicle crashes, particularly in rear-end collisions where people are hit from behind.
Whiplash can damage the muscles and tendons surrounding an injured person’s vertebrae. Unlike other types of injuries occurring in automobile collisions, whiplash can develop even when vehicles are traveling at very low speeds. Whiplash does not occur in every car crash. It often depends on the positioning of a person’s body at the time of their accident.
If you or your loved one developed whiplash in an accident that you believe occurred because of someone else’s actions, a dedicated Stockton attorney could help. Our office could answer all your questions and help you determine if pursuing a lawsuit against the at-fault party is a viable option for you and your family.
Some people develop pain or tightness in their neck right after an accident. Other people think they are fine in the immediate aftermath of a crash, but then, once the adrenaline rush from the crash wears off, they begin to experience whiplash symptoms after a few days.
People with whiplash can experience varying degrees of severity of the following symptoms:
Some people are fortunate enough to have their injuries heal quickly with no need for medical treatment. Others are at risk of experiencing chronic pain and limitations that can linger for months, years, or even permanently. Access to high-quality medical care, rehabilitation, and treatment, such as physical therapy and medication, can help people manage or reduce their whiplash symptoms, which is why fighting for a reasonable and fair damages award or settlement offer is essential. Working with a knowledgeable Stockton attorney who has successfully handled negotiations and litigation involving whiplash injuries can make a difference in the eventual outcome of your lawsuit. Our diligent local legal team can apply our experience towards the goal of helping you get your life back on track.
Whiplash can be a serious injury that can affect the way you live your life. If someone else did something to cause your whiplash injury, you may be able to file a claim against the at-fault party for compensation for your injuries.
