WHIPLASH INJURY

Whiplash Solicitors

Law Society Accredited  Personal Injury Solicitors

A Whiplash Injury can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life and, in some cases, the effects can be long-lasting.

If you are suffering from the results of whiplash, such as neck and upper body pain, reduced mobility, headaches or numbness in your arms or legs following a car crash you may be entitled to compensation.  A successful Whiplash Compensation Claim can give you the financial support you need for treatment, and to recover any other losses you have suffered.

As well as affecting day-to-day activities, the pain and suffering caused by a whiplash injury can also place limitations on your lifestyle. You may also suffer from a loss of income if your injury forces you out of work, which can further strain your situation.

Our specialist road traffic accident solicitors have helped hundreds of people make successful whiplash claims. We can help you to get your life back on track. Pursuing compensation for your whiplash injury is not something you have to do alone—by seeking specialist advice, you can ensure the optimum outcome for your circumstances.

*Please note: New regulations apply for all car accidents after 01.06.2021, and compensation will now be awarded per a Government tariff scheme.

Warning - DO NOT claim through your insurance company if you have a road accident.

Your insurance company may "sell" your case on to one of the large factory law firms, usually the highest bidder and worst performer (these firms often pay for your case). This is why you are bombarded with calls from lawyers as soon as you report your accident to your insurers.

For a much better service contact a specialist accident claims solicitor of your own choice.

What is a whiplash injury?

A whiplash injury is often the result of a rear-end collision or a side-impact collision in a car. Although not serious, a whiplash injury can be extremely painful and affect your life for up to 18 months.

People can suffer from a whiplash injury even from low-speed accidents; this is because your body jerks forward and backward quickly, creating a whiplash-type motion. The unusual force causes a strain injury in that part of the body, which results in pain. In many cases, the pain does not manifest itself for several hours post-accident. People feel aching and stiffness in their neck, back and shoulders and can also experience travel anxiety about the collision.

It is not necessarily the speed of the collision that causes the injury—it is the unusual movement that inflicts the damage. Therefore, a person involved in a low-speed car accident can develop the injury as likely as someone in a higher-speed accident.
 

What are the symptoms of whiplash?

Symptoms of whiplash vary depending on the severity of the injury and how harshly the neck hyperextended or compressed—the more severe the extension or compression, the more severe the injury.

Whilst some symptoms of whiplash can appear immediately following a collision, others take at least 12 hours to begin. Sometimes, it may take up to a few days. Typical whiplash includes symptoms such as:

  • Neck pain
  • Stiff neck and difficulty moving the head
  • Headaches
  • Stiffness and pain in the shoulders and back
  • Dizziness
  • Tingling or numbness in the arms
  • Fatigue

And in more severe cases:

  •  Tinnitus
  • Blurred vision
  • Memory issues
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Depression/bad or low moods and mood swings

If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms following an accident, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. Moreover, you may be entitled to compensation for your suffering and any financial losses incurred.​​​​​​

Contact our Whiplash Injury Claims experts
