Despite most incidences of whiplash being minor and resulting in sufferers needing to take only limited time off work, it is clear that the injury can cause chronic pain and may result in sufferers needing to take lengthy periods away from their usual employment.
In recent years there has been growing consensus among the medical community that the best way for sufferers to heal the injury is to remain active.
Indeed, the following is a sample of the latest NHS advice: "Whiplash is rarely serious and the best thing you can do is get active and restore normal movement and function to your spine as soon as possible."
And it seems that neck braces, once viewed as necessary intervention for any sufferer, are now viewed with caution. Again, the NHS tells us: "Using a collar for longer than the first few days may hinder your recovery."
Yet, despite all this consensus on the subject of minor hyperflexion neck injury, it is with the most serious, long-term cases that the consensus begins to diverge. In fact, with 40% of all cases lasting longer than four weeks, it remains worrying that the medical fraternity is still struggling to identify and quantify the causes and symptoms of the injury.
No condition better reflects this uncertainty than that of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia, a condition which causes chronic and disabling pain has, outside of speculation of certain genetic predispositions, no known cause; however, many sufferers report whiplash, often sustained in a car accident, as the cause of their condition.
Cost free whiplash claims - leading solicitors
Although almost all forms of whiplash injury can, in certain circumstances, warrant the payment of compensation, it is generally considered that only those injuries that last longer than four weeks will receive higher levels of settlement.
Here in the UK such payments are very common. In fact, they account for 75% of all motor accident claims and have a combined annual cost of around £2 billion.
