So, much of the time we are relying on the sufferers reports of the effect the injury is having on their lives and the level of pain they are in. At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, we hear day in day out of the devastating effect <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash<\/a> can have on a sufferers\u2019 life; so we treat the condition with the utmost seriousness and respect that it deserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whiplash is a condition which can be highly unpredictable. By this I mean that a doctor could advise that you will recover in 6 months, when one year down the line you are still in pain.\u00a0 This is why it is advisable to seek the advice of a specialist injury lawyer as soon as possible. The symptoms of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash<\/a> are wide ranging, and people can suffer from any one of the symptoms outlined below; if not all:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Pain, stiffness and \/ or tenderness around the neck<\/li>\n<li> Radiating pain into the shoulders and \/ or down the bac<\/li>\n<li> Severe headaches, dizziness, or even vertigo<\/li>\n<li> Pins and needles type sensations down the arm(s)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The symptoms usually become apparent around 6-12 hours after an accident and <strong>can then increase in severity for up to a week<\/strong>.

This would be at no cost to you, as the costs are recovered from the other side if you win your claim, or are covered by insurance if you lose.
