Whiplash and Other Back and Neck Injuries
The most common injuries in any accident are neck and back injuries — and they are often the most difficult to prove. A spinal cord injury that causes paralysis is obvious and easy to prove. But a more common injury — commonly referred to as whiplash — is a serious spinal chord injury without obvious physical signs. Insurance companies may not take it seriously, but we do.
My team and I know that just because your car wasn't seriously damaged, your body may have serious damage from whiplash motion type injury. The Cameron C. Gamble law firm in New Orleans is here to help you!

We hear this story often because accidents like this happen often: Your car was stopped at a red light. Another car rear-ended your car. Your car moved forward, but your body didn't. You were jerked backward, then forward. This is commonly called whiplash. It causes what doctors refer to as "soft tissue injury" at least and serious "nerve" damage, at worst.
- The insurance company minimizes the pain. Insurance company adjusters are trained to measure your injuries in relationship to the car's "injuries." If the car was dented, how can your whiplash be so painful? As a personal injury lawyer who has handled many whiplash type cases, I can show dynamically with crash test dummies how a slight dent in the bumper can result in severe spinal cord injury.
- Back pain travels. Pain from a lower back injury can travel down the leg and cause pain from muscle spasms. Pain from a neck injury can travel down the arm to the hand and cause fingers to go numb. This is serious, and at my law firm, we treat your neck and back injuries seriously. Make sure you see a doctor and follow the treatment you are given. If you need advice on where to find a doctor or if you are concerned about medical bills, contact us. My team and I can help.
- Spinal cord injury can change a life. A spinal cord injury that causes paraplegia or quadriplegia is easy to prove, but obtaining fair compensation for such an injury can be difficult. At my law firm, we know medical issues well, and we call in experts to verify the extent of spinal cord injuries and the cost of dealing with those injuries over a lifetime of disability.
