Whiplash Symptoms to Look for After a Car Accident PDF Print E-mail

If you've been involved in a car accident and feel any sort of pain or discomfort that you can't quite identify, it could be whiplash.  Whiplash has long been panned by many as a made-up sort of injury that provides those who have been in accidents with a reason to file a lawsuit, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Whiplash is real, it's painful, it can be completely debilitating and it can last for the rest of a person's life.  That's why the need for an Oklahoma whiplash lawyer is so extreme if someone does suffer from whiplash after a collision - it can be difficult to prove and a prognosis from medical professionals can be difficult to obtain with a high degree of certainty.

 

One of the reasons that whiplash cases can be difficult is because of the wide variety of whiplash symptoms someone can experience.  Below are just several of the many different whiplash symptoms that can arise:

  • Neck pain
  • Neck stiffness
  • Blurred vision
  • Irritability
  • Dizziness
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Chronic headaches
  • Pain in the back
  • Pain in the extremities
  • Vertigo
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Pain in the jaw

As you can see, there really are no set symptoms for whiplash, which is one of the reasons that its treatment remains a relative mystery in the world of medical science.  However, that provides no help for someone who suffers from whiplash, as the pain and discomfort will persist for an undetermined amount of time.

If you or someone you love has been involved in an auto accident, you need to watch for the symptoms of whiplash listed above or any other symptoms that you feel are abnormal.  You should still be checked by a doctor for obvious reasons, but you should also contact the Oklahoma whiplash lawyers at Atkins & Markoff today to schedule a free initial consultation.
