These
symptoms appear within the first couple of days after the accident
and usually pass after a few days to a few weeks.
The risk of sustained after-effects
from a whiplash injury is very small and the chances for complete
recovery are good. However, whiplash is still a strain injury and,
as with other strain injuries, it is not unusual for the pain to
last for a number months.
If you have suffered a whiplash injury
in an accident, you are likely to have been in considerable pain
and may be unable to work. On top of your injury, the last thing
you need is to be out of pocket!
