Dealing With Whiplash Injuries After Car Accidents
Whiplash occurs when the neck is forcefully jerked back and forth, causing strain or tears in the soft tissues of the neck. This injury is particularly common in rear-end collisions, even at low speeds. Symptoms of whiplash may include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Pain or tingling in the shoulders, arms, or back
While some individuals recover within weeks, others experience long-term complications that require ongoing medical care, physical therapy, or even surgery. Insurance companies often dispute or downplay the severity of whiplash injuries, but our firm is here to fight for the compensation you need.
Proving Negligence in Whiplash Cases
To secure compensation for your injuries, you must prove the other driver’s negligence caused the accident. Our firm will investigate the following elements of a negligence claim to build your case:
- Duty of Care: All drivers have a legal obligation to operate their vehicles safely.
- Breach of Duty: The other driver failed to uphold this obligation, such as by speeding, tailgating, or driving distracted.
- Causation: Their actions directly caused the collision and your whiplash injury.
- Damages: You suffered harm, such as medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
We gather critical evidence, including accident reports, medical records, and expert testimony, to establish liability and maximize your recovery.
Comparative Fault in Tennessee Car Accident Cases
Tennessee’s modified comparative fault rule applies to car accident cases, including those involving whiplash injuries. If you are deemed partially at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, as long as you are less than 50% responsible, you can still recover damages.
For instance, if you are found 20% at fault for the accident, your total compensation will be reduced by 20%. Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto injured victims to escape liability or reduce payouts. At The Law Offices of Christopher Eads, we’ll work diligently to ensure fault is properly assigned, protecting your right to fair compensation.
