If you have been in a car accident that wasn’t your
fault, during which you received a whiplash injury, our
experienced solicitors may be able to help you to claim
whiplash compensation.
It is essential that you see a doctor immediately following
an accident, if you intend to claim whiplash compensation.
Whether you wait to see your GP or visit a hospital’s
accident and emergency department will depend on the severity
of your symptoms, but a medical report will be needed when
claiming whiplash compensation.
Whiplash compensation will typically pay for any treatment
you receive, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medication
and muscle relaxants. It could also compensate for lost
earnings due to the accident and any mental distress you
may have experienced, such as nightmares or anxiety when
subsequently travelling in a car.
Whiplash treatment has changed over the years. Initially
it was thought best to completely immobilise the neck with
a surgical collar. Now, unless the case is extremely severe,
sufferers are encouraged to keep the neck mobile, which
can speed recovery.
