Although whiplash is usually associated with car accidents, slips and falls can also cause it. In fact anything that can cause the neck to jilt sideways, backwards or forwards can cause the injury. There is no set time limit on how long it takes a person to recover from a whiplash injury. It may take a few weeks, months, in some cases they may never fully recover.
Slips and falls in supermarkets can also cause injuries such as broken bones, or damage the joins, especially those around the knee. No matter what accident you become involved in it is important that you report it to a member of staff.
All supermarkets have an accident report book, this is where they write down any details of accidents that taken place within the supermarket. Not only does it allow them to prevent future accidents, it acts as a legal document.
