Whiplash Injury
The most common injury resulting from a car accident is whiplash.
A whiplash injury occurs when the soft tissue in the spine
is stretched and strained after the body is thrown in a sudden,
forceful jerk.
Typical complaints of a whiplash injury are:
headaches
stiffness in the neck
stiffness in the back of the head
Whiplash injury symptoms appear within the first couple of days after the
accident and usually pass after a few days to a few weeks.
The risk of sustained after-effects from a whiplash injury is
very small and the chances for complete recovery are good.
However, whiplash is still a strain injury and, as with other
strain injuries, it is not unusual for the pain to last for
a number months.
Whatever the severity of your whiplash injury, if you were not at fault,
you should make a claim for compensation.
