Wisconsin Whiplash Injury Lawyer
Whiplash can happen in an instant and impact the rest of your life. If you have been in a car accident there is a good possibility that you will be faced with whiplash. This is a term used to describe a neck injury where the victim is jerked, or whipped, usually due to a sudden impact such as a rear ended car accident.
Bye, Goff and Rohde LTD has been helping clients recover compensation from damages incurred by car accidents for many years. Neck injury, soft tissue injury and whiplash are common injuries that should not be ignored by your doctor, your employer, your insurance provider or yourself. At Bye, Goff and Rohde we can help you recover compensation for the recovery you need to get past this accident.
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries in car accidents.
Whiplash does not show up right away which is why it is so hard to prove and harder to claim for when it comes to your insurance policy. Many people with whiplash end up suffering from other related problems without gaining compensation needed for rehabilitation and other recovery measures. If you have experienced whiplash in any type of accident, then it is important that you act fast to avoid serious pain down the road.
Take time off to recover from whiplash.
Recovery from whiplash depends on the severity of the injury. You may need to take some time off work and attend physical therapy to regain control of your neck. Other damages may include:
- Therapy
- Doctors and specialist appointments
- X-rays
- Medication
- Loss of income
Whiplash is more than just a pain in the neck. It has been connected to other serious conditions including:
- Herniated discs in the spine resulting in a sharp, shooting pain in your back
- Back pain, muscle weakness and numbness
- Joint dysfunction and movement pain
- Faulty movement patterns and complications with the nervous system
- Chronic pain
- Muscle strains
- Severe headaches
- Vision problems
- Disturbance of mental functioning and concentration
Insurance Claims against whiplash may not be enough.
Whiplash should not be taken lightly. However, insurance companies tend to brush off whiplash as nothing, especially if the damage to the car is minimal. A soft tissue injury like whiplash is still an injury that should not be neglected. You may not be adequately compensated for your losses, including loss of income, medical expenses and emotional suffering.
