Whiplash Law Covers Your Back
If somebody else is responsible for your injuries, you can make an accident claim in terms of whiplash law. If you choose the right company, you are likely to get 100% of your claim paid out, and quite quickly too.
Whiplash is such a common factor in accidents that you need to assess how it has affected you, and if the answer is "badly", you need to put in an accident claim immediately. Whiplash Law claims will usually be considered within three years of the date they occurred. Just be aware that there is a minimum compensation claim for whiplash, and be sure to go to a professional who can assess your claim fairly and squarely.
Make sure you qualify under Whiplash Law If you aren't sure whether your symptoms qualify, a simple X-ray will probably tell all. It will also show whether your neck or any of the vertebrae in your back have been damaged, if only slightly. The more severe your injury, the more you will be able to claim. So don't delay, get good advice today.
If you've ever had a motor accident and suffered from whiplash, you'll know how awful this can be. The back of your head and neck will feel stiff after it's happened, and you're likely to get quite bad headaches as a result. You might also feel dizzy and your vision might also become blurred.
So how likely are you to get whiplash if you are involved in an accident? The answer is very likely, and there are enough claims under whiplash law to prove it. If the car you are driving, or the vehicle you are travelling in, stops suddenly, either because you or the driver brakes, or because it collides with something like a tree or another car, your whole body is likely to lurch forward and then be thrown back in the seat. This will cause the tissue in your spine to stretch, and then as you are thrown back, to strain even more.
Seatbelts are no guarantee against whiplash. Wearing a seat belt doesn't help, because your body is held in place by the belt and not your head and neck. A seat belt might even make it worse. It can also happen - and often does - when the vehicle is travelling quite slowly.
Sometimes people develop what is known as whiplash syndrome and often the victim must appeal to whiplash law for compensation. What happens is that they continue to get headaches and they find it difficult to move their head and neck. They also often find it difficult to sleep. They might get pains in their back and generally find it difficult to operate. Pins and needles, numbness, muscle spasm and dizziness are other symptoms.
They find it difficult to sleep and often have blurred vision and a monotonous ringing in their ears. This syndrome is difficult to treat and it can continue for months, and even longer, sometimes even for years.
Further effects of whiplash
Although most cases clear up quite quickly, after just a few days, the problem is that the whiplash effect might cause even more serious injuries including dislocated bones and fractures. If you get whiplash, and your symptoms are severe, you might end up not being able to function properly - your job might even be threatened. Then it is time to seek compensation in terms of whiplash law.
