A whiplash injury is one of the most common injuries suffered in a car accident with over a million people suffering a whiplash injury caused by a car accident throughout the U.S. annually. Because whiplash injuries can occur even in a low speed collision, many whiplash injury victims presume that their injuries are not severe and do not require medical attention. If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, you should see a medical specialist, such as a back and neck expert, chiropractor, orthopedic specialist or neurologist, for treatment.
Whiplash injuries may seem minor at first, but if left undiagnosed and untreated, whiplash injuries can lead to chronic pain. Untreated whiplash injuries can also make you more susceptible to future back and neck injuries. Approximately 15 percent of all whiplash victims continue to experience symptoms of whiplash injuries from auto accidents as much as three years after being involved in an auto accident.
Because the symptoms of a car accident whiplash injury often persists for months and even years, the medical costs associated with treatment and pain management as well as the loss of income from time off work can have extremely dire financial circumstances for the whiplash injury victim and the victim's family. The average car accident whiplash victim misses eight weeks of work.

Car Crashes and Whiplash
Whiplash is a unique neck injury that happens most often to drivers or passengers during rear-end collision automobile accidents when the force from the impact causes the head to snap violently back and forward. You don't need to be involved in a high speed crash for a whiplash injury to result. Even at low speeds the unexpected impact can cause injury to your vertebrae, muscles and neck.
While whiplash injuries most often result from car accidents, they can occur in any situation where a sudden back and forth "whipping" movement occurs, including slips, falls, and blows to the head from an assault.
Whiplash injuries are not always immediately recognized. If you are involved in an accident, your natural responses and the adrenaline rush may not allow you to relax. But over the course of the next few days, you might experience:
