The excessive force associated with a road traffic accident can commonly cause soft tissue damage to the muscles and ligaments in the neck and around the spine.
This is especially true if the accident results in your head being thrown forwards and backwards.
The symptoms can last for weeks or more commonly months. It is not unusual for the symptoms to last in excess of one or two years and they can be permanent.
