The most common type of injury sustained as a result of a caraccident is whiplash. It doesn’t matter that you were the driver or a passenger in any vehicle. This is a soft tissue injury to the neck caused by the sudden jolting of the head when impact occurs. Symptoms, such as neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches and sensation in the arms and hands can occur instantly or over the course of a few days after the accident.
Often, your neck pain can be worse on a particular side of your neck if your head was turned at the time of impact.
The most common cause of whiplash injury is the force of a car colliding with the car in front (rear end shunt accidents).
The speed of the collision need not be fast, it can also be very slow to sustain a whiplash injury.
We are all different and that’s where our experienced specialist whiplash injury team will listen to you. We understand that following an accident some people recover quicker than others.
The extent of your injury will determine how much compensation you can claim for your whiplash injury. Our specialist whiplash injury solicitors will also claim any loss of earnings, physiotherapy charges and other financial losses that you may have as a result of the accident.
We appreciate how a whiplash injury can affect your daily life, no matter how severe the injury.
