Injury

This condition is a common and painful injury occurring after the head is jerked in one direction and by reflex action, involuntarily jerked back in the opposite direction. It occurs in a wide range of accidents, most commonly as a result of a road traffic accident. Sometimes the symptoms are immediately noticeable although they may only appear with the passage of time. If you have suffered this injury through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to make a whiplash compensation claim.

Medical Records

After any accident that has caused injury it is important to get a full medical examination. This is primarily for the benefit of your own health but it also provides written evidence of injury that can be used in a whiplash compensation claim. Obtaining early documentation of the injury is helpful not only to prove that an injury actually occurred but also in the assessment of the value of your whiplash compensation claim which will depend on the seriousness of the injury, the recovery time and whether or not there is any long term or chronic disability.
