Whiplash

Whiplash, while a relatively common injury following a car accident, is often under-estimated by the victim and, being potentially fatal, is not an injury that should be brushed aside. Whiplash can also occur in a variety of instances where the body is severly jolted, where at first a sore neck may not necessarily lead the injured party to consider it as a whiplash injury. Amusement rides such as Rollercoasters and dodge 'ems, and contact sports like Rugby or Football are often areas where whiplash is sustained, and even in everyday home life, a sudden exertion in the home or garden can cause mild whiplash symptoms in the neck.

The Whiplashed.com site takes you through the symptoms and common treatments for whiplash injury and where whiplash is sustained through a third party's actions, how whiplash compensation may be an avenue worth pursuing. You will also find the schedule of whiplash compensation for whiplash injury sustained in the UK on the whiplash compensation page.
