Hello, my name is John Kelly, and I'm a personal injury attorney in Phoenix, Arizona. I want to talk to you about Whiplash injuries.

If you've been a victim in an auto accident and have a whiplash, you can understand that it causes an immense amount of pain and suffering in your back and neck area. There may also be headaches, concussion symptoms, dizziness, and a lot of other symptoms that go along with a whiplash. One of the important factors in these kind of cases is to make sure that you're getting the medical treatment necessary to diagnose a whiplash.

Insurance companies often like to claim that people who have soft tissue injuries are not injured. They try to say that if you didn't get the treatment, you are claiming you had a headache, but there was never a doctor that diagnosed it. That's something that we want to try to avoid. So you want to make sure that you get to a doctor, whether it's your primary care physician, if it's an emergency you go to the hospital, but make sure that you get the treatment that gets the notes that shows what your injuries are.

Following up from that, your recovery process from a whiplash is varied. It can take a short amount of time to feel better, or it can take a long amount of time to feel better. If it's taking a longer amount of time, you want to make sure you get back to the doctor and get back to treatment. Whether it be physical therapy, some people prefer chiropractic work, and others need more invasive intervention to get the relief that they need. Whatever the treatment is, as long as you're getting the treatment, you're helping your claim to make sure that you're documenting it.

In any kind of whiplash case, again, soft tissue injuries are important to document and make sure that the insurance companies know what you've been through. I often have my clients take notes about how their pain is affecting their life. If there's certain activities they no longer can do I want to know about that. And oftentimes we're taking videos of our clients and making sure that the adjusters see them so that they're not just a number, but they're a person who's going through pain.

If you have a whiplash injury and are looking to learn more about how to maximize your recovery, please give us a call. I'm happy to talk to you here at Kelly Law Team. You can reach me at 602-283-4122.
