What Causes Whiplash?

Motor vehicle collisions can lead to numerous different types of injuries. One of the most common car accident related injuries is whiplash. When a car comes to an abrupt and unexpected stop as a result of a collision, the head of any person riding in the car will whip forward. Once the forward motion is stopped by the neck muscles, the head immediately snaps backwards in a reflex reaction. These rapid motions put a tremendous strain on the victim's neck muscles and tendons causing stretching and occasional rupture which in due course leads to inflammation and pressure on the nerves with resultant pain and discomfort. There is a wide range of possible whiplash treatment however the most effective method relies on the passage of time to facilitate the natural healing process.

Whiplash Symptoms

Severe neck pain is the most common symptom experienced by whiplash victims. It is typically accompanied by frequent, painful headaches. Whiplash victims may also experience pain in their back, shoulders, limbs and jaw. The strain put on the neck muscles and tendons can cause swelling and stiffness that limits the victim's range of motion. Other potential whiplash symptoms include impaired hearing and vision, difficulty swallowing, numbness, tingling, vertigo, nausea and dizziness. There is a range of whiplash treatment available for those who are affected for any length of time.

Recovery Time

Most whiplash victims recover within a few months. Some victims endure more severe injuries which can take several years for full recovery. Some vulnerable people, including the elderly or those with a pre-existing neck condition, may suffer from permanent or chronic side-effects.

No Win No Fee Compensation Claims

If you have suffered personal injury in a vehicle collision you should consult a solicitor as soon as possible. In order to make a compensation claim the accident must have occurred within the last three years and have been caused as a result of negligence by another person. Many solicitors offer a no win no fee service which minimises the individual’s financial risk however the no win no fee scheme offered by this firm goes much further and can be summed up as 'win or lose no charge - compensation paid in full'. If you use our claims service there is no financial risk whatsoever and you are paid 100% of your compensation with no deductions.
