Neck Injuries/Whiplash

A neck injury or whiplash injury calls for a skilled attorney

Car accidents often involve significant forces that can severely damage or even destroy the human body. Even when occupants are using safety belts and shoulder harnesses, a crash may cause the head to move violently back and forth, which may result in an injury to the vertebrae of the neck and the muscles and ligaments. This type of car accident injury is commonly known as "whiplash."

If you or a loved one suffered a whiplash injury, it's important to retain an experienced accident attorney in Texas who can protect your rights. Our firm has been serving clients since 1983. Call or contact the Herrera Law Firm online today. A delay may affect your rights.

A closer look at whiplash and neck injuries

Studies show that a large percentage of people with no more than whiplash injuries have lifetime pain and permanent restriction of their activities. Insurance adjusters are usually impressed when these studies are presented to them.

A driver or passenger in an accident may sustain whiplash. (The technical term is cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) trauma or syndrome). Any type of automobile accident can lead to whiplash, but this type of injury commonly is the result of a rear-end crash. The adverse effects from whiplash include a reduction in the range of motion in the neck, as the neck muscles are stretched to their limits during an automobile or truck accident. Pain also is a result of the soft discs between the spinal bones stretching or tearing.

Whiplash injury symptoms

The following are some whiplash injury symptoms:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Pain in the shoulders, arms and hands
  • Reduced ability to turn and bend
  • Lower back problems
