Well positioned head restraints may decrease the number of whiplash injury compensation claims

On a weekly basis we receive a great number of whiplash injury compensation claims from people that have been involved in road accidents. A whiplash injury is the most common reported form of personal injury sustained from a car crash.

But when it comes to reducing the chances of sustaining a whiplash injury all you need to do is use your head.

Positioning your head restraint
You could reduce your chances of being affected by a whiplash injury by making sure that your head restraint is in the proper position. Head restraints installed in motor vehicles do, after all, aim to protect your head and neck in the event of a road accident.

A whiplash injury is caused by the head being jolted suddenly and the neck muscles contracting to prevent further injury, so a head restraint is designed to stop your head from being thrown back too far.

Recent research has revealed that simply positioning your head restraint well could reduce a motorist's chances of sustaining a whiplash injury in a car crash by 24%. This is particularly significant for female drivers who could decrease the likelihood of suffering a whiplash injury by as much as 36% by making sure their head rest is positioned correctly.

So use your head and adjust your head restraint, a whiplash injury is a painful, uncomfortable and inconvenient condition.
