Summary

In this article the author wants to specify that the whiplash syndrome is underestimated, even by the specialists. In particular the complications aren’t taken into correct consideration, above all if they concern the brachial plexus, especially regarding the TOS syndrome and double-crush syndrome. This is a problem also among the experts who have to make an evaluation in the field of insurance.
