Now, please continue reading for more information about whiplash injuries and the process of filing for workers compensation in the event that you sustain a whiplash injury at work.  

What Is a Whiplash Injury?

Whiplash injuries are caused by forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, similar to the cracking of a whip — hence the name “whiplash.” Whiplash injuries occur most often during rear-end car accidents, but can also result from sports-related incidents, physical abuse, or other types of physical trauma. Some whiplash neck injuries subside within about a week; more severe cases can take up to three months to get better. If your symptoms have lasted longer than this, you may be dealing with something more serious than whiplash. For a better understanding, review the infographic below for a list of whiplash-related symptoms:

Average Settlement Payout For Whiplash Injuries

Whiplash settlement amounts will vary greatly depending on a multitude of factors. But generally speaking, mild to moderate whiplash injuries will be valued between $2,500 and $10,000. Neck injuries that are more severe, or neck injuries that correspond with concussions and other injuries to the brain have settled for sums as high as six or seven figures.
