The Association for Safe International Road Travel has stated that 4.4 million people are injured seriously enough to warrant medical attention in the United States every year. And one of the most common injuries sustained in a car accident is whiplash. Although whiplash is thought to be a less severe injury, when your head is forcefully thrown forward and backward, it can cause damage to your tendons, ligaments, and muscles. This can quickly develop into much worse problems with both your neck and back. Many who experience whiplash after an accident often suffer from lingering headaches and severe neck and back pain. If the whiplash is severe enough, it could result in serious long-term injuries and consequences. If your neck movement is already at a reduced level, you’re at a greater risk of having long-term disabilities after suffering whiplash. Whiplash often occurs if your vehicle is rear-ended by another car. The impact of the crash causes the neck of the driver or passengers in the impacted car to overextend beyond the body’s normal range of motion. It’s important that you seek out medical treatment if you’ve been involved in a rear-end collision, especially if you think you’ve experienced whiplash. There is no set treatment to cure it, but physical therapy, muscle relaxants, pain relievers, massages, and neck braces can help treat the symptoms of whiplash. If you’re injured in an accident, you should not wait to see a doctor. Seek out medical attention as soon as possible so your symptoms don’t worsen and develop into something else. And if you need legal assistance after an accident, give us a call.
Understanding Whiplash
One-Pan Chicken Tacos
This recipe from TikTok user @violet.cooks almost broke the internet — and you’ll see why! The fried tortillas make it out-of-this-world delicious.
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
•
1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch pieces 2 tbsp garlic powder
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, garlic powder, cumin, and chipotle powder. Mix until the chicken is coated. 2. In a frying pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken mixture. Cook on medium heat for 5–8 minutes. 3. Remove the chicken from the pan, and add the corn tortillas (avoid overlapping) so they soak up the juices. Flip the tortillas and repeat. Then, add chicken and grated cheddar to each tortilla and fold it over the filling — in the pan. 4. Cook the tacos for 3 minutes per side until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted. 5. Top with pico and guacamole salsa, and serve!
• • •
