Vallejo Whiplash Lawyer

Some may believe that whiplash injuries are not severe. In the case of cervical and upper spine injuries, however, this can become quite detrimental. As with other injuries caused by the negligence of others, whiplash injuries can result in mounting medical expenses, lost wages, lengthy recovery periods, and a great deal of pain and suffering.

If you experience pain or discomfort in your back, limited mobility when turning your head or neck, or neurological symptoms such as muscle paralysis, anomalous sensations, and migraines after an accident or a severe fall, you should seek medical attention. Consult a competent whiplash injury attorney once it has been determined that you have a whiplash condition in order to receive compensation for any financial losses and decline in quality of life caused by your whiplash condition.

When Can You Get A Whiplash Injury?

The majority of cases of whiplash result from automobile accidents or slip-and-fall incidents. When someone rear-ends your vehicle or you stumble and fall hard to the ground, the force of the impact causes your neck to involuntary move or rotate in a manner that causes extreme compression or extension of the neck. This compressed or overextended state of the neck may cause strains or injuries to the ligaments and muscles by pushing them beyond their tolerance limits.

 

Whiplash can occur at any age when these incidents occur. However, whiplash can have more severe consequences for individuals over 65. Due to their increased susceptibility to age-related muscle and bone deterioration, cervical spinal injuries in the elderly can result in more than just stretched ligaments and muscles. They are more susceptible to ruptured ligaments and muscles, as well as severe spinal conditions such as herniated discs and fractures.

The Medical Costs Of A Whiplash Injury

After sustaining a personal injury and developing symptoms in your neck, shoulders, upper back, and cranium, you should seek immediate medical attention. Unfortunately, while a doctor conducts physical examinations and tests to confirm your whiplash injury, this incurs costs that you may not be able to pay, nor should you be required to pay if your injuries were the result of someone else’s negligence. 

 

For instance, doctor’s office visits can cost anywhere between $300 and $600 per visit. To determine the severity of a whiplash injury, diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans may be necessary. X-rays typically cost between $260 and $460, while MRI and CT scans can be more expensive. Now that you’ve been diagnosed with whiplash, you’ll need to pay for treatment to recover. 

 

Initially, you will be required to wear a C-collar for two to three weeks to immobilize your neck and head in order to protect your injury from excessive movement and to prevent your neck muscles from sustaining the weight of your head. The cost of the C-collar is approximately $50. You will then require pain and anti-inflammatory medication to alleviate your distress. You can expect to pay approximately $100 for analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and $150 for muscle relaxants. Also include the cost of heat and cold compresses to alleviate discomfort and edema.

 

You will need physical therapy to regain mobility and alleviate whiplash-related symptoms, which will increase your expenses. Expect to spend approximately $80 per session on physical therapy. Depending on how long you require it, the number of sessions increases. Imagine the costs if your whiplash injuries are more severe and you require more costly treatments to alleviate chronic pain. Medication used to block nerve impulses, radiofrequency (RF) nerve ablation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy are examples of advanced and expensive treatment methods. If none of these treatments can alleviate your chronic pain, your only remaining option is spinal surgery, which costs approximately $20,000.

Other Costs To Consider

You must also consider any potential income loss that may occur during your recovery period, particularly if your condition is severe enough to necessitate surgery. The days you missed from work due to an injury caused by someone else should not be deducted from your sick or vacation time. Your Vallejo whiplash attorney may be able to negotiate compensation that includes lost wages.

 

The price of recovery might also include pain and suffering. Your attorney can calculate pain and suffering damages and negotiate the claim on your behalf, despite the fact that pain and suffering does not have a monetary value. Your attorney in Vallejo may employ the multiplier method, which multiplies your financial losses, such as medical expenses and lost wages, by a number between one and five. The multipliers from one to five indicate the severity of your pain and suffering.

Why You Should See A Vallejo Lawyer When You Suffer From Whiplash

Sometimes, symptoms of whiplash injuries do not manifest until a later time. Due to this, it may be difficult to establish the severity and date of your whiplash injuries. You will need the counsel and representation of an attorney to navigate the legal complexities of your situation and obtain financial relief as you recover from your cervical spine injury.

 

Your whiplash attorney in Vallejo will be able to gather documentation and evidence to support your claim. Your attorney can use this information as leverage during negotiations to ensure you receive the utmost amount of compensation you are entitled to.
