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.
