This motion is called whiplash, and it can be much more dangerous than you may think. In fact, many people who are in minor car accidents assume that they\u2019re fine when, in reality, they\u2019re suffering from whiplash. You need to be checked for whiplash as soon as possible after an auto accident for several reasons.<\/p>\n<h2>You May Not Be Able to Make a Claim<\/h2>\n<p>Often, signs of whiplash don\u2019t show up for hours or even days after an accident. If you later discover you have pain from whiplash, it can be too late to file a personal injury claim because you weren\u2019t diagnosed right away. Your insurance company and the person responsible for the accident can claim that you were injured after the fact. If you don\u2019t have medical documents stating that you were examined and diagnosed with whiplash and injury right after the accident, there\u2019s often no way to fight back.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being checked for whiplash, you need to have a full physical examination following an accident to check for other injuries. Due to the adrenaline rush, you may not realize how badly you were hurt until later if you aren\u2019t checked by a medical expert.<\/p>\n<h2>Whiplash Needs to be Treated<\/h2>\n<p>While whiplash doesn\u2019t usually lead to severe problems, it can still lead to neck and back pain, tinnitus, dizziness, headache, and more. Often, these symptoms last for quite some time, which can make it difficult to get a good night\u2019s sleep and make you very angry and frustrated, especially if your personal injury claim is being denied.<\/p>\n<p>Having whiplash treated as quickly as possible helps reduce the amount of pain you\u2019ll be in and can improve the healing process. You\u2019ll be able to avoid much of the stiffness and decreased range of motion that often occurs due to whiplash.<\/p>\n<h2>Get the Help You Need<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been in a car accident, you need to see a medical expert quickly.
