What To Do For Whiplash After a Rear End Accident. Whiplash is also called cervical acceleration and deceleration. It is a descriptive term used to visualize the action of the neck that results in the injury. Whiplash is a common injury for drivers who are hit from behind in a rear end collision. The symptoms do not usually appear right away, so individuals suffering from whiplash often remain unaware of the severity of the injury until several hours after the accident. When the neck area rapidly accelerates, and then there is a sudden stop, or deceleration, many different internal tissues can be damaged.
