Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident is very stressful. Aside from having your car in the shop, missing work, and possibly getting your insurance rates raised, you will feel pain and stiffness. Many times, the pain and stiffness is not severe enough to miss work or see a doctor, but it is uncomfortable and limits your daily activities.
Vehicle accidents tend to produce injury despite how low the speed or minimal the impact, with whiplash being the most common injury. The reason for this is, the impact that is caused when the automobile stops and the bodies inside continue to move. The technical term for this is cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) trauma or syndrome. This describes the injuries of the vertebrae and neck, and the muscles and ligaments that support them.
Many people choose to settle with the insurance company so they can get their car fixed quickly. Unfortunately, insurance settlements include all damages, including injuries. That nagging stiffness in your neck may be on its way to a full-blown injury. Your Medical Doctor will usually take a wait and see approach, and prescribe Motrin to help alleviate the pain and inflammation. By the time the injury presents itself, you have no recourse with the insurance company.
