That's a trip to emergency room and maybe a few follow up with your doctors. \u00a0Anymore, $5,000 won't even cover treatment for a typical whiplash injury. \u00a0Get at least $25,000. \u00a0With $25,000 of coverage you have enough money for conservative treatment, and if you don't get better, at least you can be evaluated properly for more serious injuries. \u00a0Xrays, MRIs cost money. \u00a0Lots of it. \u00a0Surgery costs even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
