How does the whiplash claims procedure work?

Whiplash is a type of neck injury caused by sudden movement of the head forwards, backwards or sideways, resulting in the soft tissues in the neck becoming stretched and sprained. It commonly occurs in the following situations:

• Car accidents
• Motorbike accidents

These injuries can leave the affected individual with neck pain, stiffness, headaches and muscle spasms that last for weeks or even months, affecting their ability to live a normal life.

If you are making a whiplash claim, we can arrange the relevant medical appointments to  determine the extent of your injuries, and how they have impacted upon your everyday life; we’ll also examine the circumstances of the accident itself to establish liability. All of this information will be used to secure the highest amount of compensation you are entitled to, allowing you to move on and recover from your injuries.
