Whiplash is probably the most common injury as a result of a car accident. Whiplash is a neck injury caused usually caused by great force, often seen in rear end car collision accidents that cause the victims head to suddenly move forwards and backwards. A whiplash injury may not appear for several days after an accident, so it’s important to get any developing head and/or neck pain checked out.
Other common accident injuries are made up of soft tissue damage e.g torn ligaments, bruising etc., but many of these injuries go unreported. Head and back injuries are the most common of the more moderate to severe injuries.
