A whiplash injury can leave you with constant pain, limited mobility, and expensive medical bills. It can take you away from your job and make it difficult to pay your monthly obligations. If you or a loved one were injured in a car accident, and later developed whiplash, the responsible party (or parties) should compensate you for your resulting damages. At the Kryder Law Group, LLC, our Bolingbrook whiplash accident lawyers can promote your chances of financial recovery.
Our firm’s focus is to help accident victims recover the compensation they deserve. We will take the time to identify the responsible parties for your accident and gather evidence proving their liability. We will pursue a case on your behalf and fight for the recovery you need to begin rebuilding your life. Additionally, we work on a contingency basis, which means that you do not pay us any fees until the successful resolution of your case.
Whiplash Accidents in Bolingbrook, IL
The Mayo Clinic reports that car accidents are the leading cause of whiplash injuries, especially in rear-end collisions. Yet, no matter how your whiplash occurred, the Kryder Law Group, LLC, wants to evaluate your case and determine how we can help. We are determined to render services that meet the specific needs of your case and work for financial recovery on your behalf.
Car Accidents
Whiplash is a common car accident injury, particularly when a vehicle gets hit from behind. The impact of a rear-end collision thrusts the head forward, then causes it to sharply bend back, putting a remarkable level of stress on the cervical spine.
If your whiplash injury resulted from getting rear-ended by another driver, we can hold them accountable and pursue compensation. Most rear-end accidents are the fault of the back driver; police and insurance companies often view it that way too. But the other driver and their attorney may use several tactics to try to avoid liability or claim the accident was partly your fault. We will push back against those efforts to make sure that your interests are fairly represented.
Signs of a Whiplash Injury
Your whiplash injury may not appear right away, so it is imperative that you seek prompt medical attention following an accident, even if you feel no pain or discomfort. After consulting with a medical professional, you should also speak with a Bolingbrook whiplash accident lawyer about your options for pursuing compensation.
According to the Mayo Clinic, some of the most common whiplash signs and symptoms are:
- Neck pain
- Impaired neck mobility
- Headaches
- Shoulder pain
- Numbness
- Tingling in the neck or back
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
Make sure to keep all documents relating to your diagnosis and subsequent treatments. Imaging scans, prescriptions, and other related information can allow your Bolingbrook whiplash accident lawyer to not only examine the extent of your injuries but also factor in these elements into the value of your claim. Your lawyer’s goal will be to ultimately establish a connection between yourself and the accident, and from there, prove that another party’s negligence resulted in your losses.

Your Whiplash Injury Compensation
If you suffered a whiplash injury, you have the right to move forward with legal action. The job of a Bolingbrook whiplash injury attorney is to identify the responsible party (or parties) and hold them accountable.
We can help you recover a settlement or award that includes payment for the following and more:
Medical Bills
We can pursue both current and anticipated future medical expenses. This also covers costs relating to physical therapy, assistive equipment, prescriptions, and other items.
Lost Income
We can help you recover money to make up for the income you have lost while missing work. By reviewing your pay stubs, our team can determine differences in household income and wages.
Reduced Earning Capacity
If your injury reduces your income long-term, we can help you collect compensation to make up the difference.
Pain and Suffering and Inconvenience
We can help you pursue noneconomic damages, including loss of consortium, impaired quality of life, and other similar items. Because these losses do not have a monetary value, people often wonder how much they can recover for these damages. Generally, the most severe one’s physical injury, the more they may be able to recover for noneconomic damages.
Emotional Distress
You may be eligible to recover compensation to pay for your emotional injuries, as well. For example, if you develop post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from your collision and need extensive mental health counseling, you may be able to collect compensation for those expenses.
The Statute of Limitations for a Whiplash Claim
Illinois has a two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury lawsuits, but it can vary depending on a number of factors. This is why we recommend that following an accident, you speak with a legal professional as soon as possible, as building a strong case takes special attention to detail. Additionally, if you fail to act within this timeframe, you will likely be unable to move forward with any action relating to your claim.
The Kryder Law Group, LLC, can let you know of any impending deadlines and work with you to file within those mandates.
