The Risk of Neck Injuries in Vehicle Accidents
Neck injuries are a common result of motor vehicle accidents, particularly in rear-end or side-impact collisions. Whiplash, one of the most frequently reported injuries, occurs when the sudden force of impact causes the head and neck to jerk forward and backward abruptly. Symptoms such as stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and reduced range of motion can take hours or even days to fully develop.
Medical professionals often recommend prompt evaluation following an accident, as untreated neck injuries can lead to chronic pain and long-term complications. In cases where another driver’s negligence contributed to a crash, Pennsylvania law allows victims to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
Understanding legal options and seeking appropriate medical treatment is essential for those affected by a vehicle accident. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a crash, getting the right support can help in the recovery process.
