Okay, I hope that I got your attention. Pretty cool video about the white deer, isn’t it? Sometimes in lawsuits, people think something is strange and not true. One of the biggest misconceptions the public has is that you cannot be seriously hurt from a low impact rear end wreck (what people call whiplash). “Strange” but true that between 15 and 40 percent of patients may develop chronic neck pain (lasting more than six months) after having whiplash according to an article in the October 2007 Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. It has been estimated by some researchers that between five and seven percent of those injured become partially or totally disabled from this type of injury.

Most defense attorneys will want to show how little damage was done to your vehicle. Remember that your vehicle was designed to withstand various levels of impact, your neck whipping forward, however, was not protected from the impact.

I saw a client today who had been a passenger in a car that was hit from behind because the driver was text messaging on her cell phone while driving. The pain, headache, and other harms and losses were strange but really true, because before the accident the was not having any pain. She now has had a headache since the accident that has not gone away.

We have the Thanksgiving Holiday coming up and there will be a lot of people on the highways. Be sure you have your seatbelt on and you will be careful, won’t you? Strange but true injuries can quickly happen in the blink of an eye.
