Whiplash often results from rear-end crashes.  The Mayo Clinic says the injury is caused by the head suddenly moving backward and then  forward.  It’s similar to the motion of someone cracking a whip.  Whiplash can be mild or severe.  Its’ mild form can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications, but some people develop chronic pain after a whiplash injury.  Whiplash can also cause memory problems, difficulty concentrating, disturbed sleep, and other symptoms.  These conditions impact the victim’s quality of life.

Houston Motorcycle Crashes and Whiplash Accident Injuries – Houston Accident Attorney

Being hit from behind by another motor vehicle can make your car violently lurch forward. If you are wearing a seat belt with a shoulder strap in a rear-end collision, your body moves with the car, but your unrestrained head and neck abruptly extend and then snap back in a jerking motion.
This is whiplash. It is a traumatic injury that damages neck muscles, neck ligaments, and spinal disks. While it is by far most commonly caused by motor vehicle collisions, any sharp, jerking action applied to the head and neck can cause whiplash.

Whiplash symptoms may include:

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Headaches, most commonly at the base of the skull
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating
• Memory problems
• Ringing in the ears
• Sleep disturbances
• Irritability

The Mayo Clinic recommends immediate medical attention for whiplash victims if:

• Pain spreads to their shoulders or arms
• It becomes painful to move their head
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness arises in their arms

Recovery from most whiplash injuries takes two or three months, the Mayo Clinic says. But severe whiplash may result in pain for several months or one to two years. In some whiplash patients, neck pain persists with little or no relief, despite the use of prescription pain relievers and/or muscle relaxers, stronger medication like lidocine (Xylocaine) injections, physical therapy, and/or assistive devices like cervical collars.
