WHIPLASH CLAIMS

The main cause of whiplash is being involved in a road accident.  Your body goes forward, then backwards then forwards again resulting in a soft tissue injury to the neck.

Symptoms include being unsteady, a burning feeling, tiredness, irritability and sickness.  Pain develops within 48 hours but can be longer.  Recovery can take between 3 and 6 months but sometimes more.  Settlements are typically £2,500 - £50,000+.

In addition to claiming for your injuries you can also claim for medical care, out of pocket expenses and any loss of earnings.
