Whiplash personal injury claims are the hardest to prove as there are no available x-rays for broken bones, and symptoms generally only occur long after the accident\u2014which means they aren’t included in the original police or emergency-response report. Having said that however\u2014it IS provable.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>How to Prove Whiplash in Personal injury Claims\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The first step to proving whiplash is to have your car accident fully-documented (which will be completed by emergency responders). The second step is to document all your medical needs and appointments. In these medical appointments you’ll need to document the following:<\/p>\n \u00b7Any neck and\/or back pain<\/p>\n \u00b7Incidences of stiff neck<\/p>\n \u00b7Any swelling in the neck and connecting regions<\/p>\n \u00b7Any and all soreness in the spine in and around your neck<\/p>\n \u00b7Headaches<\/p>\n \u00b7Limited mobility to your neck movement<\/p>\n \u00b7Numbness in the extremities<\/p>\n \u00b7Dizziness, tiredness, pins and needles, muscle spasms,<\/p>\n \u00b7Jaw pain<\/p>\n \u00b7Blurred vision<\/p>\n \u00b7Loss of concentration, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and stress<\/p>\n \u00b7And any other injuries noted by your physician<\/p>\n A combination of the above symptoms can lead to a diagnosis of a cervical spine injury\u2014however,\u00a0 it absolutely has to be documented by your physician.<\/p>\n Medical documentation isn’t the only elements considered in a personal injury claim for whiplash. The legal system will also evaluate your case based on the following:<\/p>\n 1. Speed and direction of your car accident<\/p>\n 2. Whether you were wearing a safety belt, aka seat belt<\/p>\n 3. Airbag deployment<\/p>\n 4. Your vehicle’s headrests<\/p>\n 5. Restraints used by emergency personnel<\/p>\n 6. Medical conditions which may have affected your condition, especially osteoporosis and conditions related to bone or musculature impairment.<\/p>\n Whiplash injuries from car accidents can be difficult to prove in personal injury claims. One of the many reasons is that symptoms can take weeks to manifest\u2014and can persist for up to a year.<\/p>\n To ensure that you get the cash award you need to cover your on-going medical care and other out-of-pocket expenses\u2014contact one of the top personal injury claims lawyers here at Conte & Associates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to prove whiplash in personal injury claims is a difficult matter\u2014but you’ve come to the right place.
