Whiplash is the most common form of injury that we deal
accounting for 70% of all
compensation claims
made following a road accident in the UK.
Despite the fact that most vehicles are now safer and better
equipped than ever before, whiplash injuries still occur in
great numbers. If you have suffered such an injury in a road
accident you may be entitled to claim compensation.

There is no getting away from
the fact that whiplash injuries can also be very debilitating.
Early intervention can very
often be vital and the more proactive you are in requesting and
receiving physiotherapy treatment the better off you may be in
the long run.
Most insurers now provide free
treatment sessions when claims are made against their
policyholders. They have recognised at long last that by helping
the claimant to recover more quickly, they actually reduce the
overall costs of a claim.
Symptoms of whiplash may include:
Neck stiffness
Injuries to the muscles and ligaments
Headache and dizziness
Abnormal sensations such as burning or prickling
Shoulder pain
Back pain
If you wish to make an enquiry about a whiplash compensation
claim, please call our freephone number and we would be happy to
talk you through the process. Average compensation
figures of £1500- 2500 can be achieved.
