Whiplash is an extremely common injury following a rear impact car accident. As many as 22% of rear end collisions, result in at least one incidence of whiplash injury amongst the vehicle passengers. Whiplash occurs when the impact of two vehicles colliding makes the head and neck fly forward and then backwards in one quick continuous movement. If you have been in an accident that someone else caused then you may be entitled to make a personal injury claim.
Personal injury A personal injury is any injury that is sustained through the negligence of another person. You are legally entitled to claim compensation if it can be shown that the other person was at fault. You can get compensation for any physical, emotional and financial suffering the accident caused. If your whiplash has meant that you are unable to work for example, then you can get compensation for loss of earnings.
