A whiplash is an injury resulting from a sudden jolt to your neck, often sustained in auto accidents. The forceful back and forth motion of your head causes these injuries. They are very common in rear-end auto accidents. Even a neck injury which is initially diagnosed as a whiplash may actually be a more serious injury of a herniated disc in your neck.
Often the emergency room does not perform an MRI to determine if the injury is whiplash or something more serious such as a herniated disc, which often requires surgery to repair. It is always important to have any neck injury fully examined to rule out any serious injuries.
Symptoms Of Whiplash
If you’re a pedestrian who was hurt in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation—even if you were injured taking evasive action rather than being struck by the vehicle in question.
Common whiplash symptoms are:
- Neck stiffness or pain
- Loss of motion or pain during movement
- Headaches
- Shoulder, upper back or arm pain
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Blurry vision
- Ringing in your ears
- Difficulty concentrating
Serious Complications Resulting From Whiplash
- Serious neck pain
- Headaches
- Shooting pain, tingling, numbness in your arms/hands
