Whiplash injury diagnosis and compensation following a non fault accident

Whiplash is a collective term used to describe the injuries to the neck.

The neck consists of 7 cervical vertebrae held together by muscles and ligaments, intervertebral discs (shock absorbers), joints enabling motion, and a system of nerves. The complexity of the neck's anatomy together with its diverse range of motion makes it highly susceptible to injury.

Neck X-rayDue to the complex nature of the neck’s anatomy, diagnosis usually involves a physical and neurological examination. X-rays may also be used to eliminate the possibility of fracture. Depending on the patient's symptoms, a CAT Scan, MRI, or other imaging tests may be necessary to assess the condition of the cervical spine's soft tissues including intervertebral discs, muscles and ligaments.
