How do you recover from a whiplash injury? What’s the best course of treatment to aid you with a faster recovery? What do you do!?

If you are currently suffering from whiplash, I have some potentially bad news for you:

• Whiplash is a much more complicated injury than most people think
• Whiplash recovery is difficult to predict; most victims’ suffering gets worse before it gets better
• Whiplash can not only cause pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and back: it can also cause headaches, dizziness, pins and needles, and even sickness and vertigo in some cases.
• There is no magic cure for whiplash!

So – what can you do? You can aid your recovery by firstly seeking advice from your GP, a walk in centre, or a hospital, and you can help to speed up your recovery by getting treatment from a physiotherapist, or chiropractor, or an osteopathic expert if your symptoms warrant their intervention.

This is a common question I hear when advising accident victims about their road accident claims whilst I’m setting them up on our systems and getting their claims rolling forward from day 1. It’s quite easy, with a good law firm that takes client care seriously, to get your whiplash claim up and running in a matter of hours; but, it’s a difficult to question to answer when asked how much compensation you are entitled to get for a whiplash injury!

Realistically, there is only one way to value a whiplash compensation claim: with an independent expert personal injury lawyer, and an independent medical report from a fully qualified medico-legal expert. Basically, you attend an appointment arranged through your lawyers, and they use the evidence given by the expert to value your claim and assess any further treatment needs you might have.

I can, however, give you guidance as to how much compensation you can receive for a whiplash claim. As well as the medical evidence, your lawyers will use their wealth of experience and knowledge, previous cases with similar injuries and circumstances, and what’s known as the JSB (Judicial Studies Board) Guidelines, in order to give you the best valuation possible.

Whiplash is a common injury suffered following any sort of road accident – as a car driver, a passenger on a bus, or a motorcyclist / cyclist.

So – what is a claim for compensation? Do you have a claim? How do you make one? Are there any costs involved? Let me fill you in:

What is a Claim for Compensation?

A claim for compensation is the idea of compensating you for any suffering and loss caused after an accident that was through no fault of your own. Whether you’ve been hit by another negligent driver whilst out on the road, had an accident at work, slipped on a wet floor, or tripped over a hazardous defect / obstacle whilst out and about, if it wasn’t your fault, you may have a claim.

The value of your whiplash claim is dependent on a number of things. We can give you a rough idea as to how much you could be entitled to claim for; but ultimately, these factors need to be taken in to account:

• Specialist Injury Lawyer – make sure you have a fully qualified expert injury lawyer on your case, working on a Genuine No Win No Fee basis. This means 100% compensation for you if you win – no deductions, no charges. If the claim loses, you pay nothing – not a penny.
• The Severity of Your Suffering – the more you suffer, the more it is likely to be worth.
• The Length of Your Suffering – the longer you suffer, the more it is likely to be worth.
• The Impact the Suffering has on you – the bigger the impact, the more it can be worth. Things like domestic issues, social implications, and employment implications are taken in to account
• Your Losses – on top of your whiplash compensation, you can claim for lost earnings, medical expenses, travel expenses, and other financial losses that are a direct result of your accident and injuries.

So – why does the type of lawyer you have make a difference for your claim amount? Well, if you get an independent firm of expert injury lawyers, with years and years of experience in dealing with whiplash claims, you have a far better chance at securing the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to get.
