Understanding Rear-End Collision Treatment
Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident, accounting for approximately 29% of all crashes. Despite often occurring at relatively low speeds, the hyperextension-hyperflexion mechanism (whiplash) can cause significant damage to the cervical spine, including disc herniations, ligament sprains, facet joint injuries, and nerve compression. Research shows that injuries can occur in impacts as slow as 5-10 mph, and the severity often doesn't correlate with vehicle damage — a concept critical for personal injury documentation.

Why Documentation Matters for Your Salem Case
Virginia Law & Your Rear-End Collision Claim
Virginia is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident (or their insurance company) is responsible for paying your medical expenses and other damages. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Virginia is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. IMPORTANT: Virginia follows pure contributory negligence, one of the strictest standards in the country. If you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering any damages. This makes thorough documentation of your injuries and the accident circumstances absolutely critical. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Virginia and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.

If needed, your provider will coordinate advanced imaging like X-rays or MRI.
