Whiplash is easily the most common neck injury following a car accident; however, the symptoms of whiplash may take days or even over a week to progress to noticeability.
Three of the most common symptoms to watch for include:
- Headaches. Experiencing headaches after an accident can be a sign of whiplash or a more serious spinal cord injury.
- Neck or Upper Back Pain. If you are experiencing neck/back pain or have limited movement in your neck, you may be suffering from whiplash.
- Dizziness. Dizziness can also be a common issue faced by those suffering from whiplash.
If you’ve been injured in an accident and are suffering from whiplash, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
