| Injuries from road traffic accidents: |
| |
|
Whiplash is a common injury from a road traffic accident - caused by a sudden and
unexpected jolt, e.g. from your car being hit from behind. Common symptoms for
whiplash include neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, back pain, loss of feeling in arms
or hands and dizziness. It is advisable to seek medical advice from your GP or local
hospital as soon as possible following any injury. |
| |
|
Even if the driver at fault is a family member or friend you can still make a personal
injury claim, as all legal actions will be directed at their respective insurance company,
not them personally. Your personal injury lawyer will be able to give you further advice
on this. |
| |
|
If you have been the victim of a 'hit and run' or injured by an uninsured driver, then you
may still be able to claim compensation. |
