It is advised but not essential
that you seek medical assistance immedialtely
following your injuries - this should be documented
by a medical professional in order to make a successful

What causes Whiplash?
Whiplash is caused when the head and neck are
suddenly jerked back and forth beyond its normal
limits causing the muscles, ligaments and tendons
supporting the spine to be over-stretched or torn.
The major problem with whiplash
injuries is that it can take years for the symptoms
to emerge and therefore it can go unnoticed and
treatment is delayed. Many people often report
new symptoms a couple of years after their personal
injury claim is settled.
Common Symptoms of whiplash
include;
- Neck pain and/or stiffness
- Excessive Headaches
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Difficulty swallowing
- Irritability/Fatigue
- Pain when trying to turn and bend
- Pain, numbness, pins and needles or muscle spasm
in the arms, shoulder, leg or feet
- Pains in the lower back
- Ringing in the ears
