One of the most common injuries sustained in a motor accident is whiplash.Whether you were the driver or passenger in a vehicle, if you have suffered from the negligence of another driver then you may be able to claim personal injury compensation and we can help you.
Whiplash typically results from a sudden jolt to the body causing your spine to throw your head forward and then back, most commonly in a road traffic accident. Damage is caused to the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the neck, which may become stiff, and tender, leading to restricted movement and possibly headaches.
Typically occurring in road accidents, whiplash can be painful but it is seldom permanent. Indeed treatment is
well understood, and there is much that you can do to improve your condition more quickly. Following a trauma, you may not show any symptoms for several hours, perhaps the next day. As the inflammation of the damaged areas builds, so you may start to experience muscle spasm, and aches around the shoulders and neck. Headaches may also develop due to the muscle tension over the back and sides of the skull.
Our specialist solicitors can advise you how to easily make a claim for compensation – that’s compensation
for your injury and for any rehabilitation which may be required.

Early treatment of whiplash will help to speed recovery. You should always consult your GP who may suggest the following:
Whiplash pain can be debilitating, and it would be easy to sit still, afraid to move for fear of the pain or causing
more damage (which, incidentally, is most unlikely). The pain may continue sporadically for several months,
perhaps increasing with particular activities. You will need to identify what you do that results in pain, and
also which exercises address that particular pain.
In the meantime, you should consider making a claim against the negligent party for compensation. After all, your neck is very important to you – why should you suffer because of someone else’s negligence?
