关于Whiplash Associated Disorders
在因他人驾驶疏忽造成伤害的MVA(Motor Vehicle Accident)中比较常见是被追尾。
追尾导致的受害人伤害轻则软组织损失(soft tissue injuries, ICBC内部对于软组织受伤有一个赔偿范围的指导金额,从五千到一万五千不等),重则不可估量。在轻量级受伤中最多见的后果是Whiplash Associated Disorders(一种因安全带勐烈快速抽拉颈背部而引起的各种不适或疾病),简称WAD。
ICBC对WAD分成5个级别,大家可以对照以下的列表有一些初步的了解。当然,不仅仅是追尾,其他各种方式的碰撞都可直接导致WAD。
1. Grade 0 WAD: No complaint about the neck and no physical sign of injury
2. Grade 1 WAD: Neck complaint of pain, stiffness or tenderness only and no physical sign of injury
3. Grade 2 WAD: Neck complaint and muskuloskeletal sign(s) of injury
4. Grade 3 WAD: Neck complaint and neurological sign(s) of injury
5. Grade 4 WAD: Neck complaint and a fracture or dislocation
