Whiplash Compensation Claims Advice
Whiplash is a sudden moderate to severe strain affecting the
bones, discs, muscles, nerves, or tendons of the neck, which is
composed of seven small bones known as the cervical spine.
Symptoms may appear straight away or develop gradually over
hours, days, or weeks after the injury. Symptoms of whiplash may
include * Pain or stiffness of the neck, jaw, shoulders, or arm
* Dizziness * Headache * Loss of feeling in an arm or hand *
Nausea or vomiting Diagnosis Whiplash can be difficult to
diagnose because X rays and scans do not always reveal the
injury and diagnosis is usually based on observation of
symptoms, medical history, and physical examination Treatment is
usually by way of medication, physical therapy, and supportive
treatments. Severe whiplash may be treated with a surgical
collar. Compensation The amount of compensation payable
following a whiplash injury depends on the severity of the
injury, the recovery period, and whether or not there are any
permanent residual symptoms Medical History If you believe that
you have suffered an injury in an accident it is important that
you seek medical advice as soon as possible from either your
General Practitioner or in more serious cases the Accident and
Emergency department of your local Hospital. The medical record
of your injury will used in part for the assessment of the value
of your claim, and it is therefore important that the injury is
documented as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms.
