What are Whiplash Injuries?

Whiplash injuries are a common type of injury suffered during road traffic accidents. Whiplash occurs when there is a sudden displacement of the neck caused by jolting forwards, backwards or side-wards. Whiplash can cause pain, tenderness, stiffness and restricted movement of the neck. The symptoms can also extend to headaches, dizziness and pains in your arms and back. In some cases of chronic (severe) whiplash, it can take up to 12 months for the injured person to recover. However, this prognosis period can be a lot longer for some people, especially for those where the accident impact was severe.

Road traffic accidents can cause physical injury, stress, and sometimes an absence of work resulting in loss of earnings. Furthermore, some people experience a fear of being in a vehicle due to psychological trauma. Therefore, we understand that you might not want to claim against your friend or relative.

However, there are a few things you should know which might change the situation.

Most passengers are afraid to claim because they think that the driver needs to pay the compensation from their own pocket. However, it is the insurance company which pays the compensation, therefore you do not need to worry about your friend’s or relative’s finances. The insurance premium is another sensitive topic when speaking about compensation claims. It is very likely that the faulty driver’s insurance will increase, but getting the support you need to recover from injuries following a car accident is paramount as it can have long-lasting results on your lifestyle and affect those around you too.
