Whiplash is one of the most common injuries arising from accidents on the road. The term “whiplash” refers to a soft tissue injury to the neck, shoulder or spine and is the consequence of rapid acceleration or deceleration.
It can take 6–12 hours for the symptoms of whiplash to become apparent, and the pain and stiffness is often worse on the day after the injury.
The most common symptoms are:
• Headaches
• Pain or stiffness in the neck
• Swelling of the neck
• Tenderness along the back of the neck
• Loss of/reduced movement in the neck.
If you have suffered pain in your neck or shoulders as a result of a Road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault and would like to ask us a question then you can contact us now. If you’re not sure whether you can make a claim then you can phone our free helpline number 0800 0187 047 and we will help you work out what to do next.
