What Is My Cicero Whiplash Injury Case Worth?
The value of Cicero personal injury cases depends on several factors including the extent of injuries, the amount of economic damages such as the cost of your medical treatment, and the impact your injury has on your ability to work.
An experienced personal injury lawyer can effectively evaluate these factors to estimate a fair compensation amount.
How Does Whiplash Hurt the Body?
Whiplash injures the body by suddenly forcing the neck to jerk back and forth. According to the Mayo Clinic, this can cause damage to bones in the spine, disks, ligaments, muscles, and nerves, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.
What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?
The symptoms of whiplash can vary greatly, but often include:
neck pain and stiffness,
headaches,
dizziness,
and fatigue.
Some people may also experience blurred vision, sleep disturbances, or difficulty concentrating. It’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect a whiplash injury.
Types of Accidents that Cause Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash injuries can occur from various types of accidents. The most common such physical injuries are car accidents, particularly rear-end collisions.
Contrary to popular belief, whiplash injuries can occur even at low-speed collisions with speeds as low as 5 to 10 mph. However, they can also result from falls, sports injuries, and even amusement park rides.
