Dealing with whiplash injuries
|
For the millions of people across the UK that are unfortunately involved in road traffic accidents each year, one of the most common injuries sustained is whiplash. Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forwards, backwards or sideways. It can cause severe muscular pain and limited movement in the neck, and it can often take months or years as well as substantial treatment in order to fully heal.
As well as affecting the neck, whiplash can cause pain and stiffness in the shoulders. In addition, it can cause secondary medical conditions such as Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), post traumatic stress disorder and depression. If you have been involved in a road traffic accident that has resulted in a whiplash injury, you could be entitled to claim accident compensation from the driver of the other vehicle you encountered.
A specialist accident solicitor such as ours at Claims Solicitors will substantiate your claims with medical advice from a number of experts such as spinal surgeons, psychiatrists, neuro-psychologists and ear nose and throat specialists. Their medical backing will determine the extent of your whiplash injuries, which will go on to support the level of compensation sought in your accident claims case.
For instance, if your whiplash injury caused you to need a course of physiotherapy for the muscular problems and counselling for the psychological effects, a claims solicitor will seek financial compensation from the cost of your ongoing medical care as well as recompense for the pain of the initial injury. If you are unsure of the strength of your claim, many accident solicitors also operate on a no win no fee basis, seeking costs from the other party involved, to remove the worry of a large legal bill should your case not prove successful. |
