Dallas Whiplash Injury Lawyers

The Cochran Firm represents those who have been injured by negligent actions

When a person is involved in a motor vehicle accident such as a car accident, truck accident or motorcycle accident, one of the most commonly sustained injuries is whiplash.  A whiplash injury occurs when someone is involved in a forceful frontal, back or side collision that cause their head and/or neck to jerk violently forward and then backward.  Whiplash causes damage to the soft tissue in the neck and in the head, which are parts of the body that are not used to this forceful range of motion.  

People who suffer from whiplash may have soft tissue damage along with damaged joints, disks, muscles and/or nerves.  Once a person has a whiplash injury, his/her range of motion will be impaired and he/she will suffer from stiffness and soreness.  In serious cases, victims of whiplash may have irreparable nerve damage which can lead to permanent immobility or paralysis.  Additionally, people may have ongoing symptoms like headaches, fatigue, memory loss, poor concentration and dizziness.  Whiplash injuries, like all other injuries, demand immediate medical treatment.  In some extreme cases, victims of whiplash may need ongoing medical care and observation.

Whiplash Injuries & Personal Injury Lawsuits

While many people are able to recover from whiplash in a few days, others are not so lucky.  Whiplash injuries can be devastating and lead to irreversible symptoms for sufferers, especially those who have been involved in catastrophic accidents.  People with serious cases of whiplash may need lifelong medical support and may not be able to return to their occupations, both of which can lead to a substantial loss of income.  Thankfully, whiplash injury victims have legal options, such as filing a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation in cases where injuries resulted from third party negligence.
