Whiplash

Whiplash is a painful medical condition that can seriously diminish your quality of life. It dramatically limits your range of motion, making it difficult to turn your head and you may have trouble performing simple daily tasks.

When you are suffering from whiplash, you may require extensive medical care and a long period of rehabilitation before you can resume your normal activities. And for many people, the pain never completely goes away.

If your injuries are the result of another person’s negligence in Dallas, The Lenahan Law Firm can help you seek compensation to cover the cost of your medical care and other expenses caused by your injuries. Call (214) 295-1008 to learn more today.

Doctors refer to injuries that impact muscles, ligaments, and tendons as soft tissue injuries. Injuries that damage your bones are called hard tissue injuries. Soft tissue injuries include sprains, strains, contusion, tendinitis, and bursitis. But whiplash is the most severe type of soft tissue injury. In fact, it can even be fatal.

Whiplash is the hyperextension of the neck that results when a sudden blow from behind causes the head to jerk backwards and then forward. Automobile accidents are a major cause of whiplash, which may occur when you are hit from behind by another vehicle. This can happen whether you are traveling down the road or waiting at an intersection.
