If you have been involved in a road traffic accident that was not your fault, then you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

The most common type of injury resulting from a road traffic accident is whiplash.  It involves the head jolting forwards or backwards. This leads to a sudden extension of the neck muscles. The effects of this movement are more severe if the head is turned to the side at the moment of collision. The distance between the head and the head rest also has an impact on the severity of the injury.

Severe whiplash can occur whether the crash is fast or slow so do not hesitate to contact us even if you think the crash was too minor to cause any problems.

It is important to act quickly when you have suffered from a road traffic accident. It is easy to diagnose by an examination or x-ray. Sometimes, the pain from a whiplash type neck injury can take some time to develop. We can organise a medical assessment to be carried out and the results will enable us to assess the value of your claim and the potential compensation you are entitled to.

Gaining independent specialist advice is important because some insurance companies will attempt to settle a case early. In such circumstances the settlement offer you receive could be much lower than you are entitled to.
