title: [Detection of so-called "cervical whiplash trauma"].
abstract: For the evidence of causality of an accident for a cervical injury without any contact with the interior, it is necessary to provide a interdisciplinary expert's opinion. According to the state of experts knowledge for reconstruction of accidents a slight cervical injury can be precluded if the alteration of speed of the pushed car ist less than 15 km/h. Medical diagnoses are only valid if they have been proved by objective results. A diagnose based only on a subjective information is to be considered as a suspicious diagnose.
