A “small” accident might have a significant effect on your life

Frequently, whiplash is written off as a “minor” injury. In fact, the pain-masking effects of adrenaline may cause you to feel OK right away after your car accident. However, you can have severe discomfort over the next few days. Whiplash injuries can result in a concussion, which can cause nausea, dizziness, and disorientation. You can be dealing with nerve damage in your neck in the event of a really severe whiplash injury.

Any one of these symptoms might cause you to miss work, rack up expensive medical expenses, and have a detrimental impact on your quality of life. This makes it crucial to treat your injuries seriously and get legal assistance from an experienced auto accident injury attorney as soon as possible.

You cannot rely on your insurance provider to treat you fairly

Insurance firms have a natural tendency to downplay the pain of those involved in vehicle accidents in an effort to reduce their own financial obligation. It is just the way they operate. There is sometimes little objective proof of the injury because whiplash and other soft tissue injuries do not appear on x-rays or leave visible markings on the skin, making it very simple for insurance companies to refuse sufferers the compensation they are due.
