If you are in an accident and the vehicle you are driving or are a passenger in of suddenly comes to a halt, the head is violently thrust forward and then backward. This is what causes whiplash. The resulting damage from whiplash is soft tissue injury to the neck, also called neck sprain or neck strain.

The damage to the neck can last up to 3 months, however sometimes the injured can continue to have neck and back pain & headaches for sometime after. This is why we at Personal Injury Claim 0800 think you should consider making a whiplash injury compensation claim if you are suffering from whiplash.

As you would expect, you can claim for other injuries that you may have received when you suffered your whiplash injury or traffic accident.
