Whiplash injuries can cause people much distress, pain and an inconvenience. Here at The Injury Lawyers we know all too well about the terrible effect whiplash has on our clients. The injury does not only affect your health, but it can also affect any aspect of your life which can sometimes cause great difficulties. If you have suffered or are suffering from whiplash, I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about.
Whiplash is often only associated with neck pain, but it also can affect your shoulders and back, and sometimes may cause discomfort to your arms or the rest of your body. Whiplash injuries can include stiffness, pain and loss of movement. It can also cause headaches, muscle spasms, and sometimes the pain can run down through the shoulders and arms which causes a lot of stress and hassle.
Whiplash is caused by a sudden movement of the body backwards, forwards or sideways. This rapid movement damages the ligaments and tendons in the neck, shoulder and back areas which causes the severe pain and immobility. For example, when you have been involved in a road traffic accident and you were correctly proceeding in your vehicle, a sudden impact from a negligent vehicle colliding into your vehicle will cause you to jolt forwards, backwards or sideways as your seatbelt will stop you from continuing forward; therefore causing you to sustain whiplash injuries.

‘How much compensation will I get?’ This is a phrase that is known all too well here at The Injury Lawyers. And so it should be; it is important to determine a rough amount of how much compensation you are likely to receive. After all, you deserve the compensation and are entitled to it as you have sustained injuries in an accident that was not your fault. But often it can be difficult to determine how much your claim is worth from the outset. Calculating how much compensation you are entitled to involves a number of different factors.
So, how do we determine the amount of compensation that you deserve?
The law is clear – if you have sustained injuries because of a negligent third party you are entitled to compensation in order to put you back in the position you would have been if the accident had not occurred. You can receive compensation for not only your injuries but also for any other losses you have incurred directly as a result of the accident and your injuries – placing you back in the position you would have been in financially.

Upon feeling these symptoms of whiplash, you should visit your GP who should help you out with some medical advice.

As we are all manically dashing around trying to finish off our Christmas shopping, we sometimes can forget about where we are walking – I’m not talking about carelessly bumping into people in a mad rush to get the last item on the shelf; I’m talking about not watching what we are walking on. As winter brings the wet and cold weather, it can cause the floor to become a lot more dangerous than we anticipate, and can sometimes cause some people serious injuries in the event of accidents.
Slipping due to the floor being wet is one of the most common claims for compensation we see here at The Injury Lawyers.
We advise and assist numerous clients and aim to get the maximum compensation that they deserve. After all, slipping due to the negligence of whoever is responsible for the premises you are is not your fault. Failing to maintain the floor to a safe standard is not something you can control, and you should be compensated for any injuries you end up with.

Being a passenger in a road traffic accident means one simple thing – you are likely to have strong prospects of a successful claim for compensation.
You have been injured as a result of another person’s negligent driving and not as a result of your own; therefore we aim to get you the best compensation possible for your injuries. It doesn’t matter if you have been a passenger in the vehicle which is at fault if they collided into another vehicle; the fact that you were a passenger and you have sustained injuries as a result of the accident proves to be a winning claim.
This is because you have sustained injuries through no fault of your own, and the law allows you, as the innocent party, to obtain compensation for these injuries.
