My leased car was in an accident. Do I have to keep making payments?

There are a variety of injuries that can result from a car accident, one of the most common of which is whiplash.

For instance, if you are struck from behind by another vehicle, your body will begin traveling in a forward motion before coming to an abrupt stop, whipping your head and neck to a stop as well.
