Rear-End Whiplash in Sedgwick County: A Wichita Car Wreck Lawyer's Guide

By Bradley A. Pistotnik, Wichita car wreck lawyer, Bull Attorneys, P.A.

Whiplash isn't 'just a sore neck.' It's a soft-tissue injury that can radiate into the shoulders and back, disrupt sleep and work, and linger for months without proper care.

Proving whiplash without over-imaging

Medical history, mechanism of injury, exam findings, and consistent follow-up carry more weight than one ER scan. Keep a daily pain/work journal.

Seat belts & safe following distances

KHP wrote 1,859 seat belt citations in 2024 (KHP Annual Report). Seat belts save lives—and your claim—by reducing disputed injury causation.

Local baseline: Sedgwick crash totals
