Understanding Whiplash Treatment
Whiplash is the most common injury sustained in car accidents, occurring when the head is suddenly and forcefully thrown forward and backward. This rapid acceleration-deceleration force can damage the cervical spine, surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves, and discs. Whiplash injuries range from mild (Grade I) involving muscle strain to severe (Grade IV) involving fractures or dislocations. Without proper treatment, whiplash can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and long-term disability.

Why Documentation Matters for Your Edison Case
New Jersey Law & Your Whiplash Claim
New Jersey is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own auto insurance policy's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage pays for your medical treatment regardless of who caused the accident. The minimum PIP coverage in New Jersey is $15,000, which covers chiropractic treatment, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. New Jersey uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in New Jersey and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
