| Blunt trauma to the neck typically results from motor vehicle crashes. In motor vehicle crashes in which the driver is not belted, the driver is in danger of thrusting forward with the head extended, forcing the anterior neck against the steering column. Shoulder harnesses appear to offer some, though incomplete, protection against blunt neck trauma. |

| Neck pain associated with automobile accidents costs insurance companies $8.8 billion per year. Development of neck pain after a motor vehicle accident is a complex phenomenon. Since many critical organs and structures remain at risk from neck trauma, clinical manifestations may vary greatly. The presence or absence of symptoms can be misleading, serving as a poor predictor of underlying damage. |
