Tulsa, Oklahoma Whiplash Attorney

Richardson Richardson Boudreaux Keesling—Your "Go-To" Law Firm for Whiplash Injuries in Tulsa, Oklahoma

There are approximately 120,000 cases of diagnosed whiplash each year in the United States. Whiplash can encompass a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck and given the name because the head snaps forward and then back again. It is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents where the victim was involved in a rear-end collision, but can also be related to falls or accidents. The idea of hiring a Tulsa, Oklahoma whiplash attorney can cause apprehension to many people who never expected they would need professional legal help, yet in this stressful time our attorneys can put your mind at ease.

Whiplash injuries are different than other types of injuries since there is a delay in the onset of symptoms. Whether you think you have experienced a whiplash injury or not, you need to get immediate medical attention after your accident. The symptoms of whiplash range from mild (minor pain for a few days) to severe (restricted head movement, cervical spine disability or chronic and persistent pain). Even "mild" symptoms can include:

• Headaches
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Pain in the shoulder or between shoulder blades
• Low back pain
• Pain or numbness in the arm and/or hand
• Dizziness
• Ringing in the ears or blurred vision
• Difficulty concentrating or remembering
• Irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue

 

Recovery

Even the most minor cases of whiplash victims typically need 8 weeks to recover, and in more severe cases it can take 4 months to over 2 years to fully heal from a whiplash injury. How will you pay your normal household bills, not to mention your medical bills while you are recovering from the effects of whiplash? Richardson Richardson Boudreaux Keesling are skilled experts at getting you the help you need. Their Tulsa attorneys will ease your mind and make sure your expenses are covered.

While mobilization and manipulation seem to help for short periods of acute pain, there are really no approved treatments for chronic pain.

Diagnosis of whiplash can be difficult because the injuries in most cases are to soft tissues such as discs, muscles and ligaments and cannot be seen on a standard X-ray, therefore CT scans or MRIs may be required to diagnose whiplash. In the past whiplash was often treated with immobilization in a cervical collar, however currently doctors are encouraging earlier movement.
