Can whiplash be delayed a couple of days?

The simple answer is yes – it can.

It’s actually very common to feel no symptoms on the actual day of an accident. The symptoms of whiplash will typically develop over the course of the 12-48 hours following the incident.

Rear end crashes are one of the most common scenarios for car accident injury claims. People fail to stop in time and they hit someone in the back – it’s easily done.

A hot spot for rear end shunt incidents is at the entry to roundabouts where traffic can suddenly slow and where speeds of traffic can vary significantly depending on volumes of cars on the roundabout and the directions they’re coming from.
