Whiplash

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury which occurs in the neck, usually after the head has been jolted forwards causing a sudden extension of the neck muscles. Neck pain sustained as a result of whiplash may be present immediately after an accident, or can begin a few days afterwards.

The most common whiplash claims are made for neck injuries sustained as a result of a road accident. Although your body is restrained by a seatbelt during a crash, your head isn't. The "whiplash" effect is a sudden and unexpected movement to your neck, which occurs on impact with another vehicle. Other causes of whiplash include strong blows to the head or through long term repetitive damage to the neck.

Some insurers may be quick to contact claimants directly to make an early offer to settle whiplash claims. But make sure you insist on getting independent legal advice before agreeing to any settlement.
