When a vehicle is struck by another vehicle, even those wearing a seat belt may experience a sudden jolt that results in a strain or sprain in the neck, which is commonly referred to as whiplash. Whiplash is usually caused by a rear-end auto accident, but it can occur when a vehicle is struck from virtually any angle. Whiplash injuries can also be the result of a slip and fall accident, a sports accident or another type of traumatic accident.

Many people fail to understand that the seriousness of the whiplash injury has little to do with the seriousness of the accident itself. In fact, in some cases, even a relatively minor collision can lead to a severe case of whiplash.
