Whiplash Injury

Whiplash can take days or weeks to make itself known. Watching for symptoms immediately after an accident is vital to a fast recovery.

Suffered whiplash? Get the compensation you deserve with NL’s largest and most experienced personal injury law firm.

Whiplash is an injury caused by a sudden jolting or whipping back and forth of the neck. Typically, the symptoms do not emerge immediately after an accident. This makes it challenging to convince an insurance company or judge that the accident caused your injury.

Watch for Whiplash Symptoms

An early diagnosis is very important when attempting to link the injury to your accident. Seek medical attention immediately if you notice any symptoms of whiplash beginning to emerge. Symptoms include:

  • Neck pain
  • Headaches
  • Arm, shoulder, upper chest, or back soreness

Whiplash Treatment

Once diagnosed with whiplash, you may need treatment to speed your healing and manage the pain. Depending on the severity of the neck injury, you may need a cervical collar to hold your head and neck in place. Additionally, you may receive a prescription or be given injections for pain medication.

In the long term, you may require ongoing massage, physiotherapy, chiropractic treatments, or acupuncture to manage your healing and lessen pain.
