Whiplash is a common injury following a road traffic accident and each year thousands of motorists suffer from aches and pains after being involved in a crash.
Even low-speed collisions can cause the head and neck to be violently jolted around, and whiplash can also be caused by a blow to the head or long-term repetitive damage, such as cradling the phone or holding your head in a certain position.
Whiplash claims are determined based on proving wrongdoing or negligence, so it is vital if you have suffered from head, neck or shoulder pain following an accident that you keep accurate notes on the situation. This will help your solicitor deal with the claim properly.
Whiplash compensation
The amount of whiplash compensation awarded will depend on the severity of the injuries. Symptoms include muscular, tendon or ligament damage and how they affect everyday life will be used to determine the level of compensation paid out. Sufferers may also have loss of movement and stiffness, headaches, dizziness and blurred vision and muscle spasms.
The effects may take hours or even days to become apparent and can get worse as time goes by, so it is important if you think you could have suffered whiplash to be aware of your condition. You may even be able to claim whiplash compensation after a traffic accident if the other driver was not insured or drove off before you got their details.
The money can pay for treatment and ongoing rehabilitation and will take into account how the injury affects your life.
