Welcome to Neurotalk.
The first concept to understand is simple. When somebody has a concussion and/or whiplash, you treat the symptoms, not the impact. If your neck is sore or stiff, ice it. Limit neck range of motion and practice good posture when you sleep or nap. Read the stuff on TBILaw.com and subtlebraininjury.com You would likely benefit from a Neuro Psychological Assessment. TBILaw.com talks about getting them. Not reporting the accident was a BIG mistake. It was likely a violation of the law. Injury accidents MUST be reported, no matter what arrangements are made. Did you get your car replaced?

Complicated, telling the truth is best.
BUT don't offer any extra information than what is asked about this accident and your injury from it.. (your past mental/physical history is not relevant) If you went to your own dr about this new injury, your dr should be able to write a letter about current condition and findings.. But they probably should have sent you to PT for evaluation & possible treatment of your neck... Soft tissue injuries , trigger points , spasmed muscles can cause symptoms that can be resolved with proper treatment.
