Understanding the condition
About whiplash & MVA injuries
Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly thrown forward and back, straining the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck. Motor vehicle accidents can also injure the back, shoulders and other areas, and symptoms may not appear for a day or two. In Ontario, many accident injuries are treated under the Minor Injury Guideline, and our team can help you navigate the claims process with your auto insurer.
