Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury to the neck. It can be also called neck strain or a neck sprain and often accompanies other symptoms. Whiplash is usually caused by a sudden extension or flexation of the neck, and is commonly seen in car accidents.

If you have suffered whiplash and have other injuries, contact a whiplash attorney as soon as possible. A whiplash attorney can help you get a settlement or a judgment if you have suffered whiplash because of an accident.
