\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, we are expert injury lawyers having successfully dealt with thousands of personal injury claims<\/a> over the last few years.\u00a0 As such we know that whiplash<\/a> is one of, if not the most, common injuries to come out of a road traffic accident.\u00a0 We also realise that although people have heard of whiplash, they are not entirely sure what whiplash is and whether they are suffering from it.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a little guide:<\/p>\n

What is whiplash?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury that affects your head, neck, shoulder, and back area.\u00a0 It is where you strain the muscles and tendons in these parts.

\nDo I have whiplash?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give us a call today and we can give you an indication from what you describe to us.\u00a0 But remember, we are expert injury lawyers<\/strong>, not medical experts, and this means although something may sound like whiplash, we cannot medically diagnose you with whiplash – only a medical expert can do this<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That said, if you come to us and advise that you have been in a car accident, and in this accident you were thrust forward and then your seatbelt pulled you back and now you are in pain, this would seemingly suggest you have whiplash.\u00a0This is because whiplash occurs when your neck is suddenly and unexpectedly jerked.<\/p>\n
