Whiplash Injury
If you have been involved in a motor accident and unfortunately suffered from a neck injury?
What is Whiplash
Whiplash is the common name for neck sprains or neck strain, such as those caused by hyper extension injury to the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spines. The injury is referred to as "whiplash" due to the neck or back being thrown forwards and/or backwards at a rapid speed. This may cause the fibres of the neck muscles to tear, resulting in pain and often a decreased range of movement. Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders represent a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck. This disorder commonly occurs as the result of a rear end car accident or car crash.
The symptoms that can arise from a whiplash injury are as follows:
- Neck pain
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Lower back problems
- Blurred vision
- Reduced ability to bend and turn
- Pins and needles in t
Claiming compensation for whiplash
Claiming compensation for whiplash is your civil right. If someone collides with your car and you suffer whiplash as a result then you are entitled to receive compensation. You may have taken some time off work or in severe cases have to deal with an immobilizing disability. And if the accident was not your fault then you are in your right to take legal action.
