Whiplash
When a small delicate organism like the human body
is involved in the collision of two or more large solid objects
like automobiles, something has to give – and that something
is frequently the neck. The human head is relatively heavy in
relation to the neck and a sudden impact gives you no time to
brace yourself to prevent the forceful head movement known as “whiplash”.
Whiplash is the term used to describe the motion of the neck
when an impact causes the head to be “snapped” (moved
quickly in a direction opposite the direction of impact). It
is also known as CAD (cervical acceleration/deceleration) trauma
or syndrome. The sudden sharp movement can cause damage to the
joints of the neck, as well as the nerves, muscles, and discs.
In extreme cases, not only is the neck damaged, but the brain
is bruised. These injuries can include dizziness, headache, pain
in the body and arms, and, in the case of brain injury, blurred
vision, tinnitus, nausea, vertigo, and numbness. All of these
injuries can lead to long-term pain and disability.
What You Need To Know:
Insurance companies' obligations are to their stockholders
and policy holders, not to the people injured by their insured's
negligence. Insurance companies' desire to maximize their own
profits provides them with every motivation to try to deny your
claim or pay you the very minimum amount that they can get away
with. The insurance companies also have enormous advantages:
they have immense wealth, armies of experienced adjusters and
lawyers and years of experience reducing and denying claims.
