WAD – Whiplash Associated Disorder I

WAD I commonly results in stiffness or 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 2012, the Court in Clark v. Kouba, 2012 BCSC 1607 awarded the injured person $85,000 for injuries that included WAD I.
