In some minor car accidents, the people involved in the accident suffer whiplash. This injury is caused by the over-extension of the neck during impact. It can damage tissue, tendons, and ligaments around the neck area. 

While many people ignore the effects of whiplash, they could sue for damages or receive compensation for any lost wages. Signs of whiplash include muscle pains and swelling around the neck.
