Whiplash Injury Accidents
We take whiplash injuries seriously! You can trust us to fight for full and fair compensation.
Have you suffered a painful whiplash injury in a car accident?
Here’s the bad news:
The insurance companies are probably not going to take your injury seriously or offer you the compensation you deserve—especially if you are handling your own claim. After all, whiplash injuries can be difficult to prove, leaving insurance companies ample opportunity to downplay the severity of your injury or deny its existence altogether.
Now here’s the good news:

What Is Whiplash?
Sometimes also called hyperextension or hyperflexion injuries, whiplash injuries are common in many different types of car accidents, but especially in rear-end accidents. Basically, the impact of the accident causes the head to whip back and forth on the neck, surpassing the normal range of motion and subjecting muscles, tendons, and other tissue to extreme stress. In certain vehicles, poorly designed head restraints can cause or worsen whiplash injuries in the event of an accident.
We Know How to Prove Whiplash Injuries
Because whiplash is a soft tissue injury, it will not show up on x-rays or in photographs. Therefore, the best evidence in whiplash accident injury case comes from your doctor’s assessment and diagnosis of your condition. It is extremely important to see a doctor who understands whiplash injuries, and to work with an attorney who understands whiplash evidence and can leverage the evidence in your case to secure maximum financial compensation. Castillo & Associates can help on both counts. We will make sure you see a caring and qualified doctor who can document whiplash symptoms like:

- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Shoulder, arm, or back pain
