Texas Whiplash Lawyer

“Great group of people to work with—very efficient and professional. Alex has put together a great Team!”

– DEREK B.

Perhaps the driver behind you was distracted when they rear-ended you at a red light. Or maybe a driver ran a stop sign and T-boned you at a four-way stop. No matter the cause of the accident, you were involved in a crash that left you with a serious neck injury called whiplash.

The accident was not your fault, but you are now left to deal with the consequences of your injury. And these consequences can last for years.

You deserve compensation for your neck injury and all of the effects it has had and will have on your life. The good news is that Texas personal injury laws are on your side if someone else caused your accident.

Unfortunately, the simple fact that you deserve compensation for whiplash does not mean that the insurer or at-fault party will give that compensation to you. Sometimes, the other side needs a reminder about Texas law and the obligation to compensate those you have harmed through negligence.

That is where the Texas whiplash lawyers at The Law Giant come in. Years of experience and cutting-edge knowledge of the law put our neck injury attorneys at an advantage over the insurers and careless drivers who would try to keep you from the compensation you deserve. And we are ready to use that advantage to benefit you and your whiplash injury case.

To discuss your serious injury case in more detail, give Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers a call at (866) 523-4167 today.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when your head moves backward and forward very quickly, usually as a result of a forceful impact. This whip-like movement of your head and neck tears and stretches the tendons and muscles in your neck.

The severity of whiplash can vary widely. For some, the symptoms of whiplash disappear after a few weeks. For others, this neck injury can lead to chronic whiplash pain that can sometimes be debilitating.

How Do I Know If I Have Whiplash?

If you have been in an accident, look for the following common symptoms of whiplash:

Some less common symptoms of whiplash to watch for include ringing in the ears, blurry vision, trouble concentrating, and sleep problems.

For many whiplash victims, the effects of their neck injury do not show themselves until days after the initial accident. With their whiplash symptoms delayed, how are these accident victims to know whether their new pains are related to their accident or something else entirely?

If you think you might have whiplash after an auto accident or other high-impact incident, seek immediate medical care. A doctor can tell you how severe your injury is and check for other injuries that could cause immediate threats to your health, such as concussions. Also, seeing a doctor will create a medical record of your neck injury that can be used to support your case if you later seek to recover whiplash injury compensation from the person who caused your accident.

Types of Neck Injuries

Whiplash is not the only kind of neck injury you can get from a car accident or similar impact. The following are some other common types of neck injuries:

No matter what kind of neck injury you have suffered, a Texas whiplash attorney from Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers can help you seek compensation through a whiplash settlement if someone else was at fault.

Whiplash and Neck Injury Statistics

More than 1 million Americans suffer whiplash each year, according to Harvard Medical School. Of those, around 50 percent recover within a year. The other 50 percent of whiplash injury victims have neck pain for more than a year after the accident.

Unfortunately, many victims suffer the long-term effects of whiplash. Roughly 10 percent find themselves with chronic pain that leaves them unable to lead their normal lives.

As many as 45 percent of individuals with chronic neck pain say their pain is the result of a motor vehicle accident, according to a study published in Pain Research and Management.

Neck injuries are serious, but they are also extremely common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), head and neck injuries may account for as many as 17 percent of all injuries that lead to hospitalizations.

What Causes Neck Injuries?

Almost any impact to your head or body can cause a neck injury if it is forceful enough, but there are some common types of accidents that tend to pop up in neck injury and whiplash claims over and over again:

Unfortunately, one of the most common causes of whiplash is the negligence of other people. A distracted or drunk driver, for example, would be considered at fault for a whiplash car accident. And that means that person can be held accountable in a whiplash lawsuit.

Can I Sue for My Neck Injury?

Suing for a neck injury in a car accident may be the only way to recover the compensation you deserve. After all, the at-fault driver and their insurance company are not likely to offer a fair settlement without some legal pressure being placed on them.

But to sue for car accident injuries, you must be able to show that someone else was negligent and that their negligence harmed you. For example, if a drunk driver rear-ended you and caused you to suffer whiplash, you must be able to demonstrate that the other driver was, in fact, intoxicated.

To do that, you have to gather the right evidence and clearly show that you have suffered harm that warrants compensation. A car accident attorney with The Law Giant can help you do just that.

The following are some situations that might mean you can sue for whiplash:

These are only a few of the possible situations that could lead to a Texas whiplash lawsuit. For guidance on your unique case, reach out to Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers by calling (866) 523-4167 today.
