Whiplash Caused by an Auto Accident

September 30, 2014 | Edward Smith

Personal injury victims, especially those who have been injured as a result of a rear-end collision, often suffer from painful injuries as a result of a whiplash-type injury. Whiplash is a common injury to the neck and upper back caused by a sudden back-and-forth head motion. This sudden, violent snapping motion greatly strains the neck and upper back muscles and ligaments. This type of injury is called hyperextension/hyperflexion injury, neck sprain or strain, myofascial injury, or cervical strain or sprain.

Symptoms related to a whiplash-type injury caused by an auto accident may include the following:
