Why You Should Take Whiplash Seriously

Posted By Ed Womac || 30-Jul-2018

One of the most common injuries after a car accident is whiplash, but just because it’s common does not mean it should be taken lightly or ignored. While you may hear of whiplash injuries all the time & assume they’re minor, the effects of whiplash can be damaging, causing pain that last for months and that may result in expensive medical bills.

Whiplash Injuries

You may not know the extent of your soft tissue injuries immediately following an accident. You may feel some pain after a car accident, but other conditions like numbness may not be immediately evident.

Effects of Whiplash

The following are only a few examples of the effects that whiplash could have on you:

  • Pain and suffering: Whiplash can cause almost constant pain in some sufferers. This pain often requires prescription pain medication for someone to even get through the day. Ongoing pain can also result in depression.
  • Inability to work: If a whiplash patient has a job that requires lifting or other physical activity, they may not be able to perform their job for an extended period of time. Missing work can result in lost wages and financial difficulties.
  • Limitations at home: If you have small children, whiplash can often prevent you from lifting them up or caring for them.

In addition to the limitations on your life, whiplash can also be costly financially. Many whiplash victims require visits to the doctor, orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, and chiropractors. It may take months of ongoing treatment before the pain subsides. These medical bills can add up quickly.

If you’re living with pain after a car accident has caused a major whiplash injury, you need the assistance of our New Orleans car accident lawyers at the Womac Law Firm today! Call (504) 470-3935 to speak with a lawyer.
