One of the reasons for this may be that there seems to be an increased number of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/road_traffic_accidents.php\">road accidents<\/a> which are one of the most common causes of whiplash. Whatever the reason for this increase, at The Injury Lawyers we are equipped to deal with your claim, and we treat whiplash with the utmost seriousness and respect it deserves.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why the main cause of whiplash is road traffic accidents is that the cause of the condition is through a <strong>jolt to the head \/ neck area<\/strong>. This is very common in road accidents and many do not realise they have whiplash until a few hours later, or even the following day. This is because whiplash does not become apparent in most people until 6 \u2013 12 hours after the accident itself; it\u2019s therefore common for people not to report injury at the scene but then suffer later on.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms that people can suffer from are:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pain, tenderness and \/ or stiffness in the neck<\/li>\n<li>Pain radiating down the shoulders and \/ or into the back<\/li>\n<li>Pins and needles type sensations in the arms<\/li>\n<li>Severe, recurrent headaches<\/li>\n<li>Reduced or even no mobility in the neck and affected areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whiplash can be an unpredictable condition with regards to recovery periods as a doctor may predict that you will recover in 3 months when you are still suffering 1 year down the line. This is why it can be crucial to get the advice of a specialist personal injury lawyer with experience in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">whiplash claiming<\/a> from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>I have listed some further benefits that you may wish to look out for when choosing a lawyer to take on your claim:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>100% compensation<\/strong> \u2013 this fact should be reflected in your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/no_win_no_fee.php\">no win no fee<\/a> agreement and no deductions should be taken from your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/100-percent-compensation-4u.php\">compensation<\/a> whatsoever.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No costs for you to pay<\/strong> \u2013 win or lose your claim you should not be paying solicitor\u2019s costs.
