Why Does Someone Make a Whiplash Claim and What Are They?

 

Whiplash is an injury that can occur to a person following sudden acceleration or
De-acceleration, and or a combination of both. If you have suffered through no fault of your own you may be able to file a Whiplash claim.

The resulting rapid and sometimes violent movements in the forwards and backwards directions by the head and neck can cause neck strain, and the sudden extreme forces, stretches and tears the muscles and tendons in your neck, which causes pain can result in the injury of Whiplash and result in whiplash claims.

Whiplash is most commonly, and sometimes incorrectly associated with car incidents only, however it can occur without such accident as it is primarily a result of impact or blow to the head and neck that causes the trauma. Therefore such an injury can be the result of a multitude of accidents.

 

What are the Symptoms of Whiplash injury?

 

• Neck pain and stiffness.
• Worsening of pain with decreased neck movement.
• Loss of range of motion in the neck.
• Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull.
• Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back, or arms.
