Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer by the Florida Bar, Matt Powell explains the physics that cause serious and permanent neck and brain injuries. Learn how there are several distinct motions that happen at different times that when combined cause serious permanent injuries to people in car accidents.
Matt Powell explains how the car moves first, then the torso of the occupants move next, while our head remains still for a few milliseconds. Then the torso pulls the head forward with such violent force that there is often times trauma to the neck and brain. The head has to catch up to the car, the torso, and has to do so quickly, thus the term whiplash was created to explain this phenomenon.

0:00 Introduction How Car Accidents Can Cause Whiplash
0:01 How Car Accidents Can Cause Brain Injuries
0:10 Isaac Newton Laws of Motion
0:16 First law of motion says an object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force
0:25 And an object will continue in motion unless acted upon by another force
0:30 This is the law of inertia
0:44 All objects resist change in their state of motion
0:47 Second law of motion
1:02 How the laws of physics apply to a car collision
1:14 Before impact the occupant of the car is not moving
1:22 What happens when the car is hit
1:30 Most common misunderstanding
1:52 This graph explains the G-forces over time and how the human body is affected
2:30 How the human body moves in a crash
2:46 The torso moves first while the head remains still
3:06 This forces your head to have to accelerate to catch up to the car and your torso
3:17 Your neck has to points of stress and injury
3:22 First injury to the cervical spine is C5-6
3:30 Second injury is to your cervical spine at C1-2
3:48 How does a brain injury happen under the laws of physics
3:55 Brain injury on the cellular level
4:00 What is the difference between gray and white brain matter
4:13 Our brains are floating in cerebral spinal fluid
4:25 The density difference between gray and white brain matter cause the injuries
4:30 How many axons connect the gray and white matter in our brain
4:50 How the brain moves in a trauma
5:15 Different brain mass and floating in liquid cause shearing and tearing of the axons
5:33 What is diffuse axonal shearing
5:50 The laws of physics applied to your brain explains the cause of the injury
6:58 Head positioning can affect your brain injury
7:13 Do you have a loss of consciousness when you have a brain injury
7:20 Common symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury
7:32 Why are many brain injuries undiagnosed
7:59 Why is the injured person the last to realize they have a brain injury
8:20 Will x-ray, CT or MRI show a brain injury
8:42 What tests show a brain injury
8:50 Does a DTI MRI show brain injury
8:58 Does a SWI MRI show brain injury
9:06 Does a CT pet scan show brain injury
9:20 What does a CT SPECT scan show about a brain injury
9:40 Will an MEG prove a brain injury
9:52 What other tests will show a brain injury
10:00 What do neuropsychological tests show about brain injury and brain function
