Whiplash Injury After A Car Accident l Studies & Research l Seattle Attorney

• Early mobilization of acute whiplash injuries
  Acute whiplash injuries are a common cause of soft tissue trauma for which the standard treatment is rest and initial immobilisation with a soft cervical collar.
• Understanding the mechanism of whiplash injuries
  To propose a different hypothesis of whiplash injury mechanism based on a series of experimental studies summarized in this communication.
• Do "whiplash injuries" occur in low-speed rear impacts?
  A study was conducted to find out whether in a rear-impact motor vehicle accident, velocity changes in the impact vehicle of between 10 and 15 km/h can cause so-called "whiplash injuries".
• Whiplash signs and symptoms
  To assess the relationship between accident mechanisms and initial findings after whiplash injury.
• Outcome of 'whiplash' neck injury
  Psychological factors have been alleged to be important in the course and outcome of 'whiplash' neck injury but there is little quantitative evidence.
• Volvo's Whiplash Protection Study
  Whiplash associated disorders (WAD) resulting from rear end car impacts are an increasing problem. WAD are usually not life threatening, but are one of the most important injury categories with regard to long-term consequences. This paper is a review of Volvo's Whiplash Protection Study (WHIPS), which is the result of more than ten years of concentrated research efforts in the area of neck injuries in car collisions, with the focus on rear end car impacts.
