Whiplash Injury Lawyer in Delaware

Whiplash, as the name implies, is caused when a force, such as an accident, is exerted and your head whips forward and then backwards. However, 'whiplash' is not a medical term. The term whiplash merely describes in layman's terms what happens to the head & neck at impact. It also helps describe why whiplash hurts so much.

Technically, whiplash is a neck sprain or strain. Additional medical terms having to do with whiplash injuries are hyperflexion & hyperextension. Hyperflexion is what happens when your head forward forcefully during an accident. Hyperextension is the violent backward whipping motion of your head during an accident.
