7 Whiplash Symptoms You Should Never Ignore After a Car Accident You're sitting at a red light, scrolling through your phone (we've all been there), when WHAM - someone rear-ends you. Your head snaps back, then forward, like a bobblehead doll having a seizure. You sit there for a moment, heart racing, checking if you're okay. Everything seems fine.

Personal Injury Doctors vs. Emergency Rooms After a Motor Vehicle Accident The crash happens in slow motion, but everything after moves lightning fast. One second you're humming along to the radio, thinking about what to grab for dinner... and the next, you're sitting in your crumpled car with that awful ringing in your ears.
