Many misconceptions revolve around whiplash lawsuits:
#1: It's Easy to Fake a Whiplash Injury
Many people think that faking a whiplash injury is simple. They may even believe that people might take a claim to court to recover compensation despite not sustaining real injuries.
Medical professionals, however, can easily distinguish between a real injury and a false claim. They can also provide the legal proof necessary to establish a whiplash injury.
#2: It's Not Worth Pursuing a Claim for a Minor Injury
Whiplash injuries can prove relatively minor for some victims. You may recover smoothly and get back to work soon after your accident. Even a minor injury, however, can lead to substantial medical bills, for which you may deserve compensation. A lawyer can determine what compensation you can expect as part of a whiplash claim.
