Rear Driver's Side: Whiplash: This passenger may sƟll experience whiplash due to the jarring lateral moƟon from the collision.
There's a chance of the passenger’s head hitting the side window or the back of the front seats leading to potential head injuries, including brain bleed temporomandibular joint syndrome and ligament laxity. All of these are lifetime injuries. It's really important here to understand that there is a thing that happens to our ligaments in these types of hyperflexion and hyperextension injuries, and it's called ligament laxity. And what that means is that the ligament is stretched out of its normal shape, and it never ever ever goes back to its regular shape. When this happens to us in a whiplash type injury, the ligament can no longer hold our head up like it should. As a result of that our muscles take over and try to hold the head up where the ligaments would do it before because that is taxing to our muscles. That's why we get aching
