NO FAULT DOCTOR

In the United States alone, there are more than six million car accidents each year, and many of those result in some sort of injury. Millions of these people experience whiplash, which is the most common car accident injury. If you have been injured in a no fault accident, it is important that you find a doctor who will ensure that you receive the care you need to heal properly and get back to your everyday life as soon as possible. 

Whiplash is a term used to describe an injury that occurs when your neck’s range of motion is suddenly extended beyond its normal range. Many people do not experience any whiplash symptoms at first; they come on gradually in the 8- to 24-hour period following the accident. You may notice any of the following symptoms:

• Head, neck, and shoulder stiffness that may or may not be accompanied by pain;
• An inability to turn your head or move your neck as you normally would;
• The sudden onset of chronic headaches, including migraines; and
• Feelings of unexplained vertigo and drowsiness. 

Though these symptoms are considered normal for whiplash injuries, it is important for you to see a no fault doctor right away. If you experience tingling in your hands, fingers, and/or fingertips, blurred vision, or issues with your memory, these could be signs of a more significant injury. 

Other Types of No Fault Accident Injuries

Though whiplash is the most common injury, you may have experienced other car accident injuries, as well. These may range from head injuries to broken bones and even injured organs depending on the nature and the severity of your accident. Any time you experience such an injury, physical rehab is a wonderful option. It can help relieve any pain and stiffness you are experiencing, provide tips that will help you from re-injuring yourself after surgery (if surgery was necessary), and even help you learn to do everyday tasks in different ways so as not to aggravate your injuries. 

No fault accident physical rehab is by far the best way to expedite the healing process and ensure that you do not exacerbate whiplash or any other injury you may have sustained. Aside from this, when you choose to see a specialist – also called a no fault doctor – he or she can help you file your insurance claims so you can focus less on your medical bills and more on healing.
