Auto Accident Injury Claim
In any kind of auto accident, minor or otherwise, it is quite common to come out of the situation with moderate to severe back or neck pain.
Quite often, the culprit of these problems is whiplash, caused by the violent “whipping” of the neck from the wreck damaging important muscles and ligaments in your upper back and neck area. Sometimes this can cause immediate pain, but many times, it could go unnoticed for a significant amount of time. That is why we recommend seeking immediate professional attention following a car wreck.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms following an auto accident, you should make it a point to call a care provider:
- Upper/lower limb weakness
- Blurred vision
- Irritability
- Forgetfulness
- Dizziness
- Sleep interruptions
Even if the particular wreck you experienced was a minor one, you could have unknowingly suffered damage to your upper back and neck area. That is why it is imperative to seek professional help as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more likely the damage suffered could become permanent. Even a relatively painless car wreck experience could sustain certain injuries that, if left alone, can deteriorate into significant medical problems.
Medical problems that could arise from whiplash
in a car wreck include:
Out of this list, headaches are the most common type of pain that can signal the presence of these other injuries. If you are experiencing headaches immediately following the car accident, that is an undeniable sign that something is wrong. As such, professional attention should not even be a question at that point. However, even if you are not experiencing headaches immediately following the accident, your health remains a significant priority.
If you have experienced any of the previously mentioned symptoms, or have suffered any kind of significant auto accident recently, make it a point to call
