WAD – Whiplash Associated Disorder II

WAD II commonly results in a decreased range of motion and tenderness in the neck. WAD injuries are generally the result of the head snapping forward and then back again, especially in rear-end motor vehicle accidents. WAD injuries can be caused by any motion similar to a rear-end motor vehicle accident, such as by a roller coaster, skiing, or from being hit, kicked, or shaken.

Potential Settlement Value

In 2009, the Court in Watts v. Donovan, 2009 CanLII 26931 (ON SC) awarded the injured person $95,000 for injures that included WAD II.
