Accidents
on the road are quite common in the United States, particularly in the State of
California. From the data presented by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), in 2008 alone, there were already 711 traffic
fatalities reported in Los Angeles, one of the most prominent cities in the
state. Incidentally, the number of fatalities in the area is already considered
high, given the fact that the State of California is one of the most
accident-prone states in the United States.
As
it is, motorists involved in these occurrences may have incurred various
injuries that range from mild to serious. One particular form of injury that
can be sustained by motorist in vehicular accidents is the whiplash.
Whiplash
is defined as an injury from a sudden change in motion that comes quickly after
the impact of a road accident.
