Wisconsin Whiplash Lawyers and Neck Injury Attorneys
Whiplash injuries are more than a pain in the neck.
Bye, Goff & Rohde helps victims recover after a whiplash injury.
If you’ve been rear-ended in a car accident, even at low speeds, you know it doesn’t take much to jar the human body. Whiplash, spinal injuries, and neck or back pain are typically caused by motor vehicle accidents. Although symptoms might seem minor (or non-existent) at the time of your collision, these types of injuries can cause a great deal of harm over time.
Whiplash and related soft-tissue injuries can cause serious problems for those injured, including unforeseen medical expenses, loss of work, and emotional suffering. If you’ve been in an accident and believe you have whiplash, the personal injury attorneys at Bye, Goff & Rohde can recover damages associated with your injury.
Symptoms of a whiplash or soft tissue injury:
If you’ve been in a side- or rear-impact accident, and experienced any of the following symptoms, you could have whiplash:
- Recurrent headaches
- Severe muscle pain
- Neck or back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Loss of sensation, numbness, or burning in your extremities
- Dizziness
- Muscle weakness
- Insomnia
- Memory loss
While symptoms may appear immediately following an accident, it can take several months for whiplash symptoms to fully develop. As such, it’s critical that you seek medical care immediately following an accident and as often as necessary following your initial treatment. Be sure to carefully document all medical care you receive.
Whiplash cases can be complex
Unfortunately, insurance companies do not take soft-tissue injuries and whiplash claims as seriously as they should. This attitude often leads to inadequate compensation for injured victims. The personal injury lawyers at Bye, Goff & Rohde have over 120 years combined experience dealing with insurance companies: we’ll make sure you’re taken seriously, work hard to help you navigate this process, and diligently pursue an adequate settlement or go to trial.
