WHIPLASH INJURY CLAIM

The whiplash injury claim is a legal procedure that can help you get compensated after suffering an accident which resulted in a whiplash injury on your part. In order for you to get the monetary compensation, the accident must have been someone elses fault.

Whiplash injury is probably one of the most common consequences of a road accident. It usually happens after a rear end collision (when a car rams the back of the car in front of it) and is caused by the sudden move of the head back and forth beyond its natural limits. The repercussions of a whiplash injury can be very different in seriousness, ranging from really fast recoveries to permanent disabilities.

The symptoms of such an injury include the following: pain in the shoulder area, pain and stiffness in the neck area, stiff muscles, and often enough those symptoms are accompanied by headaches. If you by any chance feel these symptoms and you can correlate them with the auto accident, the best solution would probably be to see a chiropractor. Now, as for the claiming part (remember, the accident must have been someone elses fault), there are three possibilities:

If you were a passenger, your whiplash injury claim will be filed against the guilty drivers insurance company. It doesnt matter that the accident was caused by the driver of the car you were in or another cars driver.

If you were a driver when the accident occurred, your whiplash injury claim will be filed against the driver who is to blame for the accident (against his insurance company actually).

If you were either a driver or a passenger and the accident was caused by a third party in the form of a company, the claim will, of course, be filed against the respective company. This scenario is possible when the accident was caused by poor road maintenance or other on-road factors which are part of a companys responsibility.

The first thing you need to do when you get home is call a whiplash injury claim specialist. This is the person who is going to help you with the compensation claim. Remember to take evidence from the accident scene, as this could prove to be very useful in your endeavors.

There are many companies which provide quality services for cases like this, and each one has an army of lawyers who are ready to help you. You will be called to a preliminary interview, in which you will be asked about everything related to the case. This is when you will first congratulate yourself for getting good pieces of evidence from the accident place. Because you see, there are many details which will be easily forgotten in the heat of the moment. But not if you write them down, that is. You will give your lawyer a strong place to start and he will be able to tell you if you have a strong case or not. The exact amount of compensation you can get cant be determined at first, although you can be given an estimate. It depends on the seriousness of the injury mainly, but there are also other factors too. Thats why you will need to arm yourself with patience and determination, and in the end you could have a successful whiplash injury claim.
