In today\u2019s article we will examine two types of motor vehicle accident<\/a> related injuries that affect the neck and head region<\/strong>, namely whiplash and traumatic brain injuries<\/strong>. Unfortunately, both types of injuries frequently occur in motor vehicle accidents, especially rear-end collisions.<\/p>\n

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident.<\/h3>\n

\"Whiplash<\/p>\n

It is caused when a victim\u2019s neck is suddenly snapped forward and back by a change in momentum. The symptoms of whiplash often do not fully present themselves immediately<\/strong> after an accident, which can cause victims to mistakenly believe that they are less injured than they actually are.<\/p>\n

Some symptoms of whiplash include: neck pain, stiffness, shooting pain, and impaired range of motion, but can also develop into headaches, nausea, and radicular symptoms<\/strong>. It is prudent to seek out a medical professional who can help diagnose and treat your injuries to ensure you are receiving the proper care. It is also recommended you seek out a lawyer<\/strong> in order to gauge what legal recourse may be available to you, as these types of injuries can have long-lasting effects<\/strong> on your health, career, and loved ones.<\/p>\n

In fact, a large proportion of all reported traumatic brain injuries are the direct result of motor vehicle accidents<\/a>. This most commonly occurs when a victim\u2019s head comes in contact with the vehicle\u2019s steering wheel, headrest, or windshield.<\/p>\n
