Whiplash InjuryQ: I was in a car accident last week, and am having pain in my neck and back. I saw a chiropractor, who told me that my injury may take a long time to heal. The other insurance company wants to settle, and said that I only have a whiplash which is not worth much. Should I settle? A: Whiplash injuries range in severity from minor sprains and strains to ruptured disks which require surgery. A whiplash has the potential to be a very serious injury which can cause problems for a long time. It is never a good idea to settle your claim until you know how much medical treatment you need, the total cost of the treatment, your total wage loss and the full extent of your injuries. Most of the time, this means waiting until you are "medically stationary" (which means that no further medical treatment will help you to improve). You may end up with long-term or permanent problems due to your injury, and these should be known before you agree to settle your case.
