Road Traffic Accidents are the Main Cause of Whiplash Compensation Claims

Without any question the most common form of compensation claims relate to whiplash compensation claims where the victim has been involved in a road traffic accident (RTA), usually caused when another motorist has driven into the back of the claimants motor car.

The power of the collision forces the victims head violently forward and then backward with immense force causing the movement that gives it its name sake, the whiplash injury. Victims who experience whiplash often suffer a differing variety of pains and symptoms which can often include:

  • Minor or severe neck pains
  • Stiff neck and sometimes shoulders
  • Painful or milder headaches
  • Pains in the shoulders or across the back and in the shoulder blades
  • A tingling and or even numb sensation in the arms and hands
  • Varying levels of blurred vision
  • Disturbed sleep

The list of symptoms is most certainly not exhaustive and the symptoms can differ from person to person.

The fact remains, if you have suffered a whiplash in the last 3 years and you have not yet considered a claim for compensation you should certainly take steps to enquire about making a compensation claim under a non obligation and totally free legal advice service.
