Injury with two body parts (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whiplash

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'injury' is the definition.
(I know that whiplash is a type of injury)

'with two body parts' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is present in the answer.
'parts' could be 'las' (la is a kind of part) and 'las' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whiplash that I've seen before include "Common neck injury in car accidents" , "Stroke of punishment" , "Injury to neck from jerk of head, as in car accident" , "Sort of injury" , "Injury caused by a severe jerk to the head" .)
