But it begs the question \u2013 can you claim for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash injury<\/a>? When will you recover? How much are you entitled to claim for?<\/p>\n<p>As a whiplash specialist, I can answer your questions! (well, as best as I can!)<\/p>\n<p>If you are involved in an accident that was not your fault, you can make a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash injury claim<\/a>. Normally, whiplash occurs after a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/road_traffic_accidents.php\">road accident<\/a>; caused by the sudden jolting of your neck, stretching your valuable body tissue further than its normal range of movement.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You can end up suffering with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neck pain; radiating down in to your back and shoulders<\/li>\n<li>Stiffness \/ loss of movement and tenderness in the affected areas.<\/li>\n<li>Headaches, dizziness, and feelings of nausea ( vertigo in some cases)<\/li>\n<li>Pins and needles or tingling sensations \u2013 normally in your arms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The gist of whiplash is that it really is an <strong>absolute pain in the neck<\/strong> \u2013 and I honestly don\u2019t mean that in any amusing way.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">When Will I Recover from Whiplash?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Confusingly, most <strong><em>whiplash symptoms don\u2019t appear until hours, or sometimes days, after an accident<\/em><\/strong>. The <strong><em>symptoms progressively get worse<\/em><\/strong> as you go along \u2013 so if you\u2019ve just had an accident and you\u2019re still feeling fine, I apologise to be the bearer of bad news, but it\u2019s likely you are going to wake up one morning in <strong>absolute agony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Given the complex nature of the injury, it\u2019s difficult to predict when you might recover. It could be 4 weeks, or 8 weeks, or 4 months, or 9 months; or even years.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing you can do to aid your recovery is <strong><em>get private medical care<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 physiotherapy, chiropractic, or perhaps osteopathic treatment. With a <strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">specialist whiplash lawyer<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, you can <strong><em>access this private medical care at absolutely no cost<\/em><\/strong> to you whatsoever (even if your claim loses).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How Much is a Whiplash Claim Worth?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This all really depends on if you have a specialist whiplash lawyer representing you for your claim.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, most <strong><em>minor whiplash cases settle for around \u00a32,500<\/em><\/strong>. The bracket, according to the <strong>Judicial Studies Board<\/strong> (JSB) for whiplash injuries, dictates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minor Whiplash: around \u00a31,000 &#8211; \u00a35,000<\/li>\n<li>Moderate Whiplash: around \u00a35,000 &#8211; \u00a315,000<\/li>\n<li>Severe Whiplash: in excess of \u00a315,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Take a look at our calculator to your right and receive you potential value today.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Realistically, the <strong><em>only way to value a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash claim<\/a> is with a good medical report and a specialist whiplash lawyer<\/em><\/strong> representing you for your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/100-percent-compensation-4u.php\">claim for compensation<\/a>.
