Whiplash Injury Claims

Whiplash injuries Suffered Following a Motorcycle Traffic Accident

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is the common term often used by people to explain soft tissue (mainly muscular) pain various parts of the body.

People tend to associate whiplash with neck, shoulder and back pain and of course, accounts for a good proportion of the symptoms associated with various accident types.

How can Whiplash occur?

It is not the case that a person can only suffer whiplash from road traffic accident for example, a car accident or motorbike accident but it can also occur when a person slips, trips or falls suddenly without warning or prior expectation.

Where does the term “Whiplash” come from?

The term “whiplash” comes from the similar sort of motion seen from the cracking of a whip. The spinal muscles and the spine itself are forced in one direction before being shunted in to a different direction very suddenly.

How long can Whiplash take to resolve?

As lawyers, we do not provide medical advice. Therefore, if in any doubt, please discuss any treatment with your GP, Hospital or other appropriate medical adviser.

Whiplash can be complex in that one cannot say with any certainty how long a person may suffer symptoms for. Medical experts tend to look at certain factors such as impact velocity, gender, age and any pre-existing vulnerability to name but a few, before arriving at a conclusion that they believe is more likely than not in terms of the recovery process.
