Whiplash Symptoms
Even a minor car accident can result in a serious injury to your spine. One of the most common injuries is hyperflexion and hyperextension of the neck, commonly known as whiplash.
At the law firm of Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California, our lawyers are experienced at helping whiplash injury victims receive the medical care they need and the compensation they deserve. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Symptoms that you have suffered a whiplash injury include:
- Pain in your neck and back
- Aching in your shoulders
- A feeling of pins and needles in your arms and legs
- Headaches
You may feel the symptoms right away or not until several days after the accident. Many people delay seeking medical treatment, thinking that the symptoms will go away in time. Unfortunately, a whiplash injury can lead to chronic pain that lingers for months or even years after the accident.
Insurance companies typically do not take whiplash injuries seriously and may offer far less money than you deserve. If you fail to seek prompt treatment, the insurance company is likely to claim that your injury is not real or did not result from the accident. It often takes a lawyer's help to receive full compensation for everything you are going through.
