With the road system in the UK already overcrowded the increase in the number of cars on the road is a worry. Road accidents can result in injury, and whiplash is by far the most frequently seen injury in road accidents. Whiplash claims are commonplace, and if you have suffered any injury that was not your fault you have a legal right to make a claim for compensation. Whiplash injuries can be serious and, in some cases, may result in time off work and loss of earning. Let’s have a look at whiplash in more detail, and how to claim.
Whiplash Injuries Explained
Whiplash is an injury that is caused when the body is subjected to violent forces, as in a collision. The spine may be bent beyond its natural limits, and the soft tissue between the vertebrae, can be torn and damaged. The result is the pain, loss of movement and other symptoms that typify whiplash.
