Whiplash Injury

A whiplash injury is normally associated to a range of neck type injuries. Injuries like this are often caused because of sudden movements or distortion of the neck.

Motor vehicle accidents are often associated with this type of personal injury because when a moving vehicle impacts another vehicle this will cause sudden shock movements that can result in a whiplash type injury.

The injury can cause pain to the neck and upper back and are not always felt straight away, in fact it’s not uncommon for a whiplash type injuries to cause pain days or even weeks after the initial movement.

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident and you feel discomfort around your neck, shoulders and upper back region, you should see a doctor to seek medical advice and you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.
