\"whiplashIt’s not always obvious to diagnose a whiplash injury<\/a>. One of the main reasons for this is that it can take a few hours or even days for the symptoms to develop. If you are involved in a road accident, you may feel fine immediately after the impact. This is extremely common.<\/p>\n

But give it a few hours or days, and you might start feeling the effects. So if you are wondering whether you are suffering from a whiplash injury, read on for how to spot the signs.
\n<\/p>\n

Delayed Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n

So as I said above, it’s common to feel fine immediately after the accident. Most people will start feeling the effects within 12-48 hours after the accident. You might go to bed and then wake up feeling like you have slept awkwardly.<\/p>\n

Pain and Soreness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whiplash can affect different people in different ways. You will normally feel pain in your neck, back, and shoulders. This could be a dull ache or a burning sensation that is exacerbated by staying still. Most doctors recommend that you should keep mobile to help alleviate the symptoms.<\/p>\n

Stiffness and Restricted Movement<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s highly likely that the affected areas will be stiff and your range of movement, particular in your neck, will be limited. You may struggle to raise your arms as well. The stiffness and reduced movement can have a significant impact on your daily life, making simple tasks like driving a lot more difficult.<\/p>\n

Headaches and Sickness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Headaches are also fairly common, and sickness or vertigo can also occur after a whiplash injury. If you feel these kinds of effects, it is worth visiting your doctor immediately for advice and assistance.<\/p>\n

Making a Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the accident wasn’t your fault you can make a whiplash compensation claim<\/a> for the pain, suffering and loss that the injury has caused to you. You can also claim for financial losses and expenses as well. Contact us now on 0800 634 75 75 for free advice today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
