FAQs on Car Accident Injuries And Workers’ Compensation Care:
About Our Auto Accident Care Services
Why Does Your Practice Emphasize Care For Car Accident Injuries?
Car accidents are renowned for causing painful problems, particularly whiplash injuries. These should always be taken seriously no matter how innocuous they may at first appear, because of the areas which are affected. It should also be remembered that the effects of whiplash may take weeks or months to fully manifest, thus it cannot be assumed no problems exist just because none is felt immediately following the accident. With that in mind, our team also puts a strong focus on treating late appearing car accident injuries.
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash refers to a group of common car accident injuries that occur as a result of the sudden, violent whipping motion of the head in an accident. The “whip” movement can happen in any direction – back-forward, forward-back, side-side, or anything in between. Various injuries can occur as a result, including damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back. A host of related symptoms can then kick off from these, many of which can appear completely unconnected to the original trauma.
But My Car Was Fine - Aren’t I, Too?
The amount of damage to the vehicles in an auto accident does not depict the amount of injury sustained by the victim. Studies indicate that common car accident injuries can occur at impact speeds of 5 mph, where there is little or even no damage to the car. Today’s cars absorb much of the impact in the bumper, but they now transmit this energy from an impact to the person’s head and neck in much the same fashion as when one pool ball hits another.
What Are Common Symptoms Of Car Accident Injuries?
The most common symptoms of a whiplash injury are pain or stiffness in the neck and shoulder, recurring headaches, numbness in the arms and fingers, irritability, back pain, and dizziness. Remember, these symptoms can develop long after the accident. Unfortunately, few people realize that an untreated neck or back injury from a car accident is likely to develop into the degeneration of the joints in later years.
What Will Happen If A Problem Goes Untreated?
If you are not very careful, a whiplash injury may end up causing permanent damage when it is not noticed or its effect is underestimated. Around 50% of whiplash victims who have settled insurance claims are still suffering the effects of their whiplash years later. If you even suspect that you have suffered such an injury, a visit to our office is strongly advised so an assessment can be made and appropriate treatment and advice offered.
