Whiplash is normally a neck, back, and shoulder injury caused by the soft tissue in the spine being forcefully jerked \u2013 e.g. from the impact of being hit behind by another person\u2019s motor vehicle.\u00a0 So, how do I know if you have whiplash?\u00a0 Here are the common symptoms:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pain in your neck, shoulders, arms and back<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Muscle spasms<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty moving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whiplash is most likely to occur where you have been involved in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/road_traffic_accidents.php\">road traffic accident<\/a> whereby another vehicle has hit your car and caused you to be jolted suddenly.\u00a0 That said, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash<\/a> can occur during other activities, for instance a sudden impact during a game of rugby.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the <em>Telegraph<\/em> suggested in their article that whiplash is an injury that is often faked and whereby fraudulent claims frequently arise.\u00a0 At <a
