Accident Compensation
Whiplash Injuries
If you are involved in a high impact accident, perhaps the most common personal injury that can occur as a result is whiplash.
Whiplash is an injury to the soft tissue in the neck, which occurs when a sharp jolt causes your muscle to suddenly flex backwards or forwards. This can result in pain not only in your neck but also in your back, shoulders and arms, and it can also cause further symptoms including dizziness, headaches, concentration problems and even depression.
One of the most common incidents where whiplash occurs is in a motor vehicle accident. The higher the speed of the collision, the more severe whiplash can result, and it can also prove particularly severe if your head was turned at an angle when the impact occurred.
Whilst in some cases the effects of whiplash is instant, it can actually take days for symptoms to fully emerge. The pain and restricted movement can subside relatively quickly, but in more severe cases it can result in ongoing medical treatment and even permanent disability: around 1 in 10 whiplash injuries lead to long-term health problems.
If you have suffered a whiplash personal injury through an accident, you must visit your GP for immediate medical treatment. This will not only ease your symptoms, but also open a detailed medical record charting the extent of your injuries. There may also be a chance that you are entitled to accident compensation.
You should also contact a specialist accident claims solicitor, who can help you gain financial accident compensation for your injuries. At Claims Solicitors, our team of legal experts will advise you on the strength of your claim.
