Whiplash Injury Claims

Many people suffer from whiplash injuries, and they have the potential to be very serious.  Car accidents are often responsible for neck injuries, often caused by a car being struck from behind.  Many people aren't aware that these injuries can leave them with serious and long-term consequences.

Whiplash

An injury caused by an abrupt, sharp, involuntary movement of the head, neck, or spine is known as whiplash. It is often caused by rear-end traffic collisions or the incorrect positioning of a seatbelt during an accident.

Can Whiplash Cause Any Problems

The following are some of the characteristics of whiplash and severe neck injuries:

Back, neck, or shoulder pain that persists

A feeling of numbness or stiffness

The paralysis may be temporary or long-lasting

A fractured bone

Muscle aches

Whiplash injuries can be impairing and long-lasting. It is possible for you to receive compensation if you are unable to perform your normal daily tasks or work. A whiplash injury can resolve on its own within weeks, but other injuries of this kind may not heal at all or may take years for the injured party to make a full recovery.

What is the procedure for a whiplash or neck injury case

Before applying to the Personal Injuries Board in Ireland if you feel that you may have a whiplash or neck injury claim, you should keep all your medical records and documentation and vouching for all expenses associated with the injury and seek legal advice from a personal injury solicitor.
