 Whiplash Injury

 is a sudden moderate to severe strain affecting the bones, discs, muscles,
nerves, or tendons of the neck, which is composed of seven small bones known as
the cervical spine.

 

 

 Symptoms

 may appear straight away or develop gradually over hours, days, or weeks after
the injury.

 Symptoms of whiplash may include

 

 • Pain or stiffness of the neck, jaw, shoulders, or arm

 • Dizziness

 • Headache

 • Loss of feeling in an arm or hand

 • Nausea or vomiting

 

 Diagnosis Whiplash Injury can be difficult to diagnose because X rays and scans do not
always reveal the injury and diagnosis is

 usually based on observation of symptoms, medical history, and physical
examination

 

 

 Treatment

 is usually by way of medication, physical therapy, and supportive treatments.
Severe whiplash may be treated with a surgical collar.

 

 

 Compensation

 The amount of compensation payable following a

whiplash injury depends on the
severity of the injury,

 the recovery period, and whether or not there are any permanent residual
symptoms

 

 

 Medical History

 If you believe that you have suffered a
whiplash injury in an accident it is important
that you seek medical advice as

 soon as possible from either your General Practitioner or in more serious cases
the Accident and Emergency department of your

 local Hospital. The medical record of your injury will used in part for the
assessment of the value of your claim, and it is therefore

 important that the injury is documented as soon as possible after the onset of
symptoms.
