The online dictionary defines whiplash as ‘an injury to the neck (the cervical vertebrae) resulting from rapid acceleration or deceleration (as in an automobile accident)’. What a lot of people don\u2019t realise is that a whiplash injury<\/a> isn\u2019t necessarily something that affects you immediately after an accident. It could well be that you feel perfectly fine in the aftermath of a crash only to later discover several hours later that you have sustained an injury.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"whiplash\"Whiplash injuries are particularly common as a result of an accident where you are hit from behind by another vehicle. Common symptoms of whiplash are:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Stiffness and pain in and around the neck<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Difficulty turning your neck to one side<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Stiffness in the shoulders or travelling down the arms<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Headaches and dizziness<\/p>\n

The best thing to do after an accident therefore is to go and get yourself checked out at a hospital.<\/p>\n

This is a good example of why you should always exchange details after an accident, even if it seems like you have not suffered any ill effects as a result of an accident. If you have suffered an injury<\/a> as a result of a car crash which wasn\u2019t your fault, you may have a claim for compensation. Why not give us a call on 0800 634 7575 and see if we can\u2019t help you get the compensation you are entitled to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
