Can I Get A Neck Injury From A Fender-Bender?
This post will help you or a loved one involved in a car accident. No neck injury from a car accident is minor. You are more likely to get a permanent neck injury in a fender-bender than being rear-ended at a high speed. Neck pain from crashes tends to be chronic and last years. At least 40% of people with whiplash from an accident have neck pain and related symptoms five years later. This number climbs to 55-70% at the 15-year mark, which means that neck pain from accidents gets progressively worse over time.
