Got Whiplash from Car Accident in Brooklyn, What do I Do?

Whiplash is a legitimate claim and our Brooklyn attorneys represent victims

We’ve all heard the term “whiplash” and frequently this very real condition is identified with “bogus” claims that follow car accidents. However, anyone who’s been rear-ended on the road can tell you that “whiplash” and all the painful, sometimes debilitating symptoms that accompany it, are very real.

Based in Brooklyn and serving all communities in Brooklyn, our personal injury attorneys have handled and earned compensation for a number of car accident victims coping with whiplash, among other conditions. If you or someone you care about is recovering from a vehicular accident and coping with the pain and stiffness of whiplash, call our experienced, caring personal injury attorneys today for a free consultation.

The prestigious Mayo Clinic defines “Whiplash” as a neck injury occurring “during read-end automobile collisions, when your head suddenly moves backward and then forward – similar to the motion of someone cracking a whip.” The pain and damage occurs because muscles and ligaments are pushed beyond their normal range of motion and injuries can be mild or severe.

Often symptoms don’t appear immediately, but develop in the days following an accident. The Clinic’s website stresses that while many victims may recover in days or weeks, others “develop chronic pain after a whiplash injury.”

Dizziness, blurry vision, and fatigue, along with ongoing neck pain and stiffness, are common whiplash symptoms. Other whiplash symptoms that develop in the days following rear-end collisions include memory loss issues, inability to concentrate/focus, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and ringing in the ears.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms following a collision, be sure to consult a physician, especially if pain spreads to your shoulders or arms of if it’s extremely painful to move you head.
