Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries Should Not Be Overlooked

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

Whiplash symptoms range from mild to severe and can result from any sort of activity which causes the neck to “snap” back-and-forth unexpectedly. Personal injury claims connected with car accidents often include whiplash symptoms on their list of complaints.Common whiplash symptoms include: 

  • neck stiffness
  • neck swelling
  • shoulder pain
  • upper back pain 

Some less common and more severe whiplash symptoms include: 

  • muscle spasms
  • injuries to the muscles and ligaments
  • headaches or dizziness (may also be symptoms of concussion)
  • difficulties swallowing or chewing (indicates damage to the esophagus)
  • abnormal burning or prickling from nerve damage 

Don’t make the mistake of writing-off any abnormalities in your neck as “coming with the territory” of being involved in a car accident. If you have been involved in an accident involving neck strain and notice any differences in your neck’s range-of-motion or abnormal or continued pain, you should seek medical attention. If you require additional medical treatment for whiplash symptoms, you may want to speak to a Chicago personal injury lawyer about filing a personal injury claim to help recover your medical expenses.For more information on whiplash injuries and how to file a personal injury claim visit our article library.
