Typical amounts of compensation awarded
following a whiplash injury
Whiplash is the most common car accident injury and 20% of those involved in car accidents will suffer from it at some stage following their accident.
Sudden acceleration of the head can tear or stretch muscles and ligaments in the neck and result in a whiplash injury. Symptoms include headaches, neck pain and stiffness, jaw pain, dizziness and memory loss. These usually arise within 48-72 hours after the accident. Most whiplash injuries are minor with pain or discomfort lasting just a few days.
Seeking immediate medical advice and treatment is advisable following a whiplash injury. Applying a cold compression pack and taking anti-inflammatory drugs are usually prescribed.
