Whiplash presents a myriad of complicated symptoms. Some of these symptoms, including the whiplash itself, may not present themselves for several days. If you have been in an accident and suspect you may have whiplash, request to be taken to a medical facility.
Documentation in accident cases is very important to a whiplash compensation claim. Whiplash occurs when a sudden stop forces the head to continue forward after the rest of the body has stopped forward movement. Whiplash can also be associated with neck, shoulder and back pain as well as burning and tingling sensations. Whiplash may take a few days to resolve, but even with treatment, some whiplash symptoms may take from weeks to months to resolve.
If you have been injured in an accident, you are entitled to compensation. Compensation includes reimbursement of medical bills, property damage, and pain and suffering.
