Whiplash is a common consequence of car accidents but how do you know if you are suffering with it ?
The most common cause of whiplash is someone driving into your rear bumper, but it is possible to suffer this trauma with other kinds of road accidents. Whiplash accident claims count for around 75% of personal injury claims in the UK and the Association of British Insurers state that almost 1200 claims are made daily.
Unfortunately from those people who genuinely suffer there are a number of fraudsters who try to gain compensation when they have no real injury. Whiplash is difficult to diagnose and quite easy to fake, causing problems for doctors and insurers.
If you have had an accident and you are wondering whether you are suffering from whiplash and whether you have a legitimate right to make a car accident claim, these are the symptoms to look out for:
• Headaches, blurred vision, dizziness
• Stiffness in shoulders and arms
• Difficulty turning the head
• Neck pain and stiffness
Of course if you are suffering any pain after a car accident you should consult a doctor and if you want to find out if you are eligible to make a car accident claim contact us at Vamco today.
