Whiplash symptoms include:
You may also experience unexpected symptoms such as irritability and depression.

If you hit your head — even if it seemed minor and you feel fine — you should see the doctor to be sure you don’t have a concussion or brain trauma.
When you get a medical exam right after your accident, your doctor can identify potential problems and prescribe treatment before complications develop.
You’ll also want a medical exam in the event you need to file an insurance claim to cover medical expenses.
The doctors at South Lake Pain Institute will accept a LOP and begin your treatment so that you can find relief from your pain.
A LOP is a document sent from your attorney to your doctor stating that you’ll pay all medical expenses out of future money recovered from a personal injury lawsuit.
