Understanding Whiplash and Neck Injuries
The impact of an auto collision (or any other type of accident) can alter a person’s life, especially when injuries are significant, complicated, or extensive. Whiplash and neck injuries are very common in various types of accidents. The extent of the neck injury depends on the extent of the accident. Often, though, whiplash and some other types of neck injuries are not viewed by insurance companies as significant even though they can be long-term. Many times, insurance companies will try to reduce or avoid payouts when the claim is whiplash because they argue it was not the accident but another issue that caused the injury, especially when the whiplash was delayed and showed up a day or week later, which is typical of this type of injury. At Wilcox & Mastrorocco, our personal injury attorneys in Utah will review your case, including any neck injuries, and represent your interests and rights before the insurance adjuster or any other party who owed you a duty, breached it, and caused you harm. Contact us today at 801.960.4046 to schedule a free consultation and make sure you recover what you are rightfully owed.
