Whiplash Injury Compensation Claims

If you have sustained a neck whiplash injury that was not your fault, our specialist personal injury claim solicitors can help you claim compensation.

Whiplash injuries are very common in the UK, and will happen in almost any serious accident.

Whiplash is a kind of neck injury caused by the sudden movement of the head and neck. This tends to happen as a result of a serious road traffic accident, or if there has been a fall or slip that results in a blow to the head.

The symptoms of whiplash tend to vary but usually include pain in the neck, mild to severe headaches, nausea, and even dizziness. While some people may experience some of these symptoms immediately after being involved in an accident, it is not uncommon that the symptoms develop a few days afterwards.

Neck whiplash is painful, and it can severely impact your quality of life. If you have sustained a neck whiplash injury that was not your fault, our specialist solicitors can help you claim compensation.

Our experienced team of personal injury solicitors will explore the circumstances of your injury and will be able to strategise on how best to secure the level of compensation you deserve.

What are the symptoms of whiplash?

Symptoms include neck pain and difficulty moving the head. Whiplash can also cause headaches and pain in the arms and shoulders. It can be a few days before symptoms appear. Symptoms vary from person to person, depending upon the nature of the injury.

A person usually recovers from a whiplash injury within a few weeks, but it can have long-term effects, especially when there has been a serious accident.

Effects include:

• Blurred vision
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dizziness
• Long-term back, neck or jaw pain
• Ringing in the ears
• Severe headaches
• Weakness or numbness in the limbs.

Whiplash can impact your health, finances and general quality of life for a long time. You may have to take time off work or receive ongoing medical treatment.
