Whiplash Injuries

Antelope Valley Car Accident Injury Attorneys

Whiplash is a common injury associated with car accidents and truck accidents. Whiplash occurs when the head is thrown suddenly forward and backward or side to side. The sudden impact of an auto accident often causes this precise movement, resulting in damage to the tendons and muscles in the neck. If whiplash is serious enough, it may affect the spinal cord as well. Although whiplash is not typically a life-threatening injury, it may lead to long-term partial disability. Sustaining a whiplash injury may cost a victim thousands of dollars in medical care, chiropractic treatment, pain medication, lost productivity, and time spent away from work.

Whiplash Injury - Who Can Be Held Liable?

The party that can be held liable (legally responsible) in a whiplash injury claim will vary depending on the circumstances of the accident. Most often, it is a negligent driver.
