What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a term used to describe a particular type of neck injury, but lower back whiplash injuries can also sometimes occur. Whiplash injuries often involve violent back and forth movement of the neck during a car accident. That’s because the neck is moved forcefully in a whip-like motion. These neck injuries are especially common during a rear-end collision.

Whiplash affects the soft tissue muscles in the neck. While whiplash injuries might seem like minor injuries to some people, whiplash pain is real and can result in chronic neck pain that can last for weeks or months or sometimes even longer, resulting in a partial disability.

What Is Delayed Whiplash?

One of the reasons why whiplash injuries can be so confusing is because whiplash symptoms might not be apparent right away. Instead, many people who sustain a whiplash injury in a car accident realize they have whiplash several days or weeks later. That’s why delayed whiplash is such a common phenomenon among people with this particular type of neck injury.

What Are Common Causes Of Whiplash Injuries?

There are many different causes of whiplash injuries sustained in a car accident. Some of the most common causes of whiplash include:

Whiplash from being rear-ended – Rear-end car accidents are among the most common causes of whiplash injuries.

What Makes Whiplash Injury Cases So Complicated?
