Whiplash Claims
Whiplash most frequently happens in car accidents. Even in a low-speed collision, the head can be violently jolted, causing what is known as whiplash. However, whiplash can also occur from a head blow or even through a repetitive strain or movement. For example, if you spend much of your day cradling a telephone between your head and shoulder, painful long term injuries could develop.
