Whiplash is typically the most common injury associated with rear-end accidents. Whiplash can affect many different parts of the neck and spinal cord. Nerve and soft tissue damage may cause loss of sensation in other parts of the body. This damage is usually caused when the head suddenly moves forward and then snaps back following the impact of another vehicle.
Depending on the severity and the speed of accident, whiplash symptoms can be felt instantly, or have other long lasting consequences that you may not realize at first. Symptoms may include the following:

– Blurred or double vision
– Challenge concentrating
– Dizziness or disorientation
– Headaches
– Insomnia
– Memory loss
– Mood fluctuations
– Numbness or loss of sensation
– Pain in the shoulders and back
– Ringing in the ears
– Stiffness
– Pain moving your head
– Unusual fatigue
– Weakness in the arms

Unfortunately, many victims of whiplash require long periods of physical therapy and other treatments in order to fully recover. They may not be able to go to work for long durations.

In addition to effects of whiplash following a car accident, victims of rear-end accidents may also suffer concussions and other head injuries such as: traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, facial fractures, lacerations, broken bones, and more. Many of these injuries can incur significant medical bills, and loss of income for victims and families of these accidents.
