Serious injuries deserve experienced attorneys

A whiplash injury that occurs in the state of Maryland often warrants the need for a whiplash injury law firm Maryland residents can rely on.

Whiplash is colloquial term that is often used for soft-tissue injuries of the neck that are caused by sudden, back and forth, jerking motions of the head. Cervical acceleration-deceleration (CAD) describes the mechanism that causes the injury. Whiplash associated disorders (WAD) describes the symptoms that are often a result of this kind of injury.

Whiplash can be painful and debilitating for the person who suffers from it. Many people who suffer from whiplash do not initially have symptoms in the hours immediately following the accident or incident that caused the injury. It often takes 24-48 hours for symptoms to appear.

While whiplash can be caused by many different things, it is a very common result of automobile accidents. When someone has been in an accident, it is recommended that he or she seek medical care even symptoms are not present. In the event that symptoms of an injury start to present themselves, it is good to have record of this via medical appointments and treatments.

If you have are suffering from whiplash that is the result of an automobile accident or other event that occured in Maryland, talking to a whiplash injury law firm in Maryland may help you to understand your rights. If your injury is the result of someone else’s negligence, or malicious or reckless behavior, you may be entitled to compensation from the person who caused your injury.

Whiplash and Motor Vehicle Collisions

Page Contents show

Whiplash is a common result of motor vehicle collisions, especially when they are the result of rear-end collisions. This is because a person’s safety belt holds their torso in place while their head is abruptly flung forward and then jerked backward from the force of the crash. This rapid movement often causes soft tissue damage in the neck.

If you are suffering from whiplash that is the result of a car crash or other incident that occured in Maryland, discussing your rights with a reputable whiplash injury law firm in Maryland may help you to understand what your next steps should be.

Whiplash Symptoms

Neck and muscle strains are common symptoms of whiplash injuries. The muscles, ligaments and tendons in the neck can be strained, sprained or even tear completely.

Even if you do not initially have symptoms of whiplash after an accident, it is a good idea to seek medical care so that if you wind up needing a good whiplash injury law firm in Maryland, they will be able to use this documentation as evidence to make a strong case for you.

Common symptoms of whiplash include but are not limited to:

Pain
Numbness, weakness and/or tingling

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout.

She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!

Cohen & Cohen exceeded my expectations throughout my case. Nicole Skibicki, Esq. was an outstanding attorney who demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and genuine care from start to finish. She took the time to listen whenever I needed to vent about my situation, and her empathy made a difficult process much more manageable.

Nicole was a strong advocate on my behalf and worked diligently to ensure that I received a fair settlement from the insurance company. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that my case was in capable hands.

I highly recommend Cohen & Cohen to anyone seeking a personal injury or accident attorney. If you want experienced legal representation, exceptional client service, and a team that truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for you, this is the firm to choose. Thank you, Nicole and the entire Cohen & Cohen team, for your dedication and outstanding work!
