Whiplash is a painful injury to the neck, during which it is forcibly moved to the front, back or sides. The most common cause of it is road traffic accidents and it can short-or long term impact on your health. Most injuries get better after a couple of weeks, but some may take longer to get better or lead to chronic neck pain.
The causes of whiplash primarily involve road traffic accidents, by hitting the vehicle from the rear-end. However, hitting the car from any angle can cause whiplash if it causes the neck to move around forcibly. Any road user can experience injuries, even pedestrians, depending on the circumstances of the accident. Because the motion that causes it is so aggressive, it can lead to injuries to the; spine, bones and ligaments in the surrounding areas.
If you have suffered whiplash, we highly advise you to contact one of our solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side.
The symptoms can vary, depending on the individual and the accident severity. Some symptoms can develop within days of the injury occurring. The most common ones include:
Other symptoms that individuals may experience include:
We advise that you do not have to experience all of these symptoms if you are experiencing whiplash. If you have experienced whiplash from a road traffic accident, contact one of our experienced solicitors now. We will ensure that you get the highest possible compensation for your injuries in the most stress-free way.
For less severe injuries, it is possible to treat them with over the counter painkillers. If the pain lasts, your GP might prescribe you codeine. Whiplash can prevail for a while and generally gets better after 2-3 months. These 2-3 months can cost you time and money, having to spend recovering instead of doing your everyday activities. That is why getting suitable compensation is essential, enabling you to get fair compensation after the loss faced.
More severe injuries need extensive treatments, such as physical therapy sessions or using cervical collars until the damage gets better. Patients may also consider using alternative remedies such as; acupuncture and massage.
These treatments may require the use of private practices, which can pose a financial burden to you and your family. That is why it is critical to receive the correct compensation for any loss you may have faced.
