What is a whiplash injury?

Imagine that you are idling at a corner waiting for the lights to change. Without warning, a vehicle comes up behind you, fails to stop and runs into the back of your vehicle. You head snaps back and forth in a whipping motion and the adrenaline courses through your body. You get out, check the damages and exchange information with the other driver. At least you weren’t hurt; a little shaken up but that’s understandable.

In the ensuing days that follow, you feel some mild aches and pains. You’re irritable, feeling agitated and you can’t sleep very well even though you are fatigued. Nevertheless, you shrug it off and try to get back into the swing of things.

What you may not realise is that you have suffered a major whiplash injury, the primary reason for the pain and other symptoms you are experiencing. The most onerous symptom of whiplash is the delay in pain and discomfort. Over the next weeks, sometimes months, symptoms may or may not develop. You may not really experience any problems for years.

The truth of the matter is you have suffered soft tissue damage. The mechanics of a whiplash injury is the head is subjected to a rocking motion that literally defies the movement of the automobile, causing hyperextension that tears the muscles and ligaments of the neck. The muscles instinctively move to keep the head in a forward motion that is in direct conflict with the aerodynamic motion of the vehicle. This means the muscles and ligaments overcompensate, the cervical and thoracic vertebrae can be knocked out of position, and you are left with pain and a restricted range of motion.

Of course, not all whiplash injuries have severe or long-term consequences. However, this doesn’t mean you should not seek medical attention and the assistance of a claims solicitor.

A claims solicitor is an experienced professional, well versed in the mechanics and legalities of a whiplash injury. By seeking the aid of such a professional, you will experience a sense of security just from the interaction alone. A skilled and compassionate claims solicitor will know the proper procedures for handling your whiplash injury claim. It takes a calm hand and a cool head to make certain that all treatments, interfaces with insurance and proper whiplash injury compensation are awarded to the victim.

There is nothing imaginary about a whiplash injury, nor should complaints be dismissed. Regardless of the type of accident or the seemingly lack of severity, you should seek immediate consultation with a claims solicitor. Soft tissue injuries can affect your future heath; create long-term problems; have a detrimental outcome in terms of employment; and keep you from enjoying the life you were pursuing before being involved in an accident with another vehicle
