Whiplash Injury
Whiplash commonly occurs in
road traffic accidents but can also occur
in other situations such as an accident
at work, where the neck is subjected to
a similar movement.
Symptoms of whiplash can start immediately after the accident or
can develop over a period of hours or days. Pain and stiffness in
the neck or back, headaches, dizziness and pins and needles in your
arms are usually evidence of whiplash.
It is advisable to seek medical advice as soon as possible after
an injury occurs. Usually a diagnosis is made based on the description
of the symptoms given by the patient and is initially treated with
painkillers, followed by physiotherapy if symptoms persist.
Our personal injury solicitors are highly experienced and are sympathetic
to the disruption and frustration that these injuries can cause. They
are able to offer, 'no win, no fee' agreements. Our costs are dealt
with separately and are not deducted from your compensation.
