• Are you familiar with the term whiplash? It is
  generally used to describe only rear end
  collisions. It usually happens where a car is
  stationery and another car drives into the rear
  of it. But the more accurate definition of
  whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck when
  you are involved in a car accident. It is quite
  painful and some people even suffer for years
  when proper treatment is not administered. It is
  highly recommended that you should seek
  professional medical treatment in the event you
  become a victim to this injury. Otherwise,
  there's a huge chance of you being unable to
  fully recover.
• Whiplash injury compensation claims following a
  road traffic accident are quite common but how do
  we go about making RTA compensation claims? Well,
  first of all, let's look at what a whiplash
  injury is. Whiplash results in restricted
  movement of the neck. There is also pain which
  can be transmitted down to the lower back and the
  victim may suffer from headaches.
• The symptoms, which can worsen over a matter of
  days, can include heaviness of the limbs, muscle
  spasms, tinnitus and even memory loss. Whiplash
  occurs when the vehicle suffers a heavy jolt.
  Tendons in the neck or spine are stretched or
  torn. The resulting injury and symptoms lead to
  pain and suffering.

• They will require medical treatment and the
  victim may require a period off work, resulting
  in loss of income. It is for these very reasons
  that compensation claims for injuries are
  pursued.
• As with any injury it is very important that
  there is medical evidence to back up the
  complaint. While it is in the victims own
  interest to seek medical help following such an
  injury to aid diagnosis and recovery, the medical
  notes will also provide vital evidence when the
  claim is pursued.
• It is also in the claimants own interest to
  note any loss of income and extra income, such as
  prescription costs, travel to the hospital for
  specialist appointments related to the injury.
  Future loss of income, such as your inability to
  continue your current job, and the effect on your
  future lifestyle will also be taken into account
  when making a whiplash injury compensation claim.
