- Whiplash Injuries Can Lead to Long Term Medical Bills
Perhaps one of the most maligned injuries that results from car accidents is whiplash. Hollywood has depicted whiplash as a fake injury countless times over the years in an attempt at comedy, and this effort overall has had an unfortunate effect on those who have suffered this injury. Put simply, whiplash is a real and a serious injury, and one that can require months if not years of medical attention. If you suffer from whiplash as a result of an Arizona car accident, you need to seek the help of experienced Phoenix car accident lawyers as soon as possible. In the meantime, below is a look at just how serious whiplash can be for someone who suffers from it.
Whiplash from Arizona Car Accidents – Problems with Diagnosis and Prognosis
Whiplash is an injury that does not tend to present itself clearly to doctors. The symptoms of whiplash can vary wildly, and as a result it can be all but impossible to determine how severe a case of whiplash is and how long it will take for a patient to recover. For example, symptoms of whiplash can include:
- Headaches
- Stiff neck
- Shoulder pain
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Fatigue
These are all symptoms that could easily be confused with other injuries or conditions, so simply arriving at a diagnosis of whiplash is not easy. In addition, forecasting the recovery time for whiplash can be equally as difficult, as there is no broken bone that will heal or tear of a ligament that can be repaired. Whiplash is basically intense inflammation of the neck area, and inflammation does not come with a timetable for
Ongoing Care Needs for AZ Auto Accident Whiplash Victims
As a result of this injury, patients could need any number of different treatments and approaches. Most whiplash sufferers will need ongoing medication to deal with their pain and their inflammation. Others will need rehabilitation to regain the range of motion in their neck and shoulders, and still others will need more intrusive steps in order to work beyond this debilitating injury. Overall, some people who suffer from whiplash can recover from it in a matter of days or weeks. However, there are others who will not overcome this condition for a period of months or years, if they ever fully recover at all.
This all means that as long as medical care is needed, medical costs will continue to rise. If this situation sounds familiar to you, seek the help of a Phoenix personal injury attorney who can fight to make sure that your medical costs are covered and that you can focus on your recovery.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
