Whiplash Is a Serious Injury
Many people mistakenly believe that whiplash is not a serious injury. Some go so far as to say that it is fictional. At Jaroslawicz & Jaros, we know just how serious whiplash can be. We know how much a person's life is changed when he or she cannot turn his or her head from side to side or nod without excruciating pain. We know that extensive medical treatment may be required, and that the victim deserves compensation for that treatment if the whiplash was caused by an act of negligence. With decades of experience on our side, we will work hard to maximize compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.
Whiplash and Motor Vehicle Accidents
While whiplash can be the result of a wide range of accidents, it is most commonly the result of motor vehicle accidents. We represent people who suffered whiplash in:
More often than not, whiplash is suffered in a rear-end collision. One car collides with the back of another, sending the victim's head suddenly back and then forward, causing what is referred to as cervical acceleration-deceleration (CAD).
In cases involving whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), insurance companies will play upon the myth that whiplash is not a serious injury. They will deny compensation altogether or offer a lowball settlement. Our attorneys know how to combat insurance company tactics. We will bring in medical experts who will clearly show just how serious the whiplash injury is. If necessary, we will go to a jury and make our case there. Our impressive record of results is proof of our ability to do what is right for all accident victims.
