Whiplash happens when the head and neck are suddenly forced back and forth, usually during rear-end collisions. At first, victims might only feel mild soreness or stiffness—but within days, that discomfort can evolve into chronic pain, headaches, and even nerve issues. Unfortunately, because whiplash often isn’t visible on scans, insurance companies frequently try to downplay it.
Common whiplash symptoms include neck pain, limited range of motion, dizziness, fatigue, and shoulder or upper-back pain. Some people also experience blurred vision, ringing in the ears, or sleep issues. If you notice these symptoms after a crash, it’s critical to seek medical care immediately and get detailed documentation of every visit.
In Michigan’s no-fault insurance system, your policy should cover medical expenses and some lost wages. However, if the injury leads to long-term or serious impairment, you may have the right to pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver. Having clear medical evidence of whiplash—and how it affects your daily life—can significantly strengthen your case.
Because whiplash can worsen over time, waiting to contact an attorney can hurt your claim. Michigan Injury Attorneys helps clients gather the right medical records, communicate effectively with insurance companies, and ensure they’re not pressured into quick, undervalued settlements.
If you’re dealing with ongoing neck pain or stiffness after an accident, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
