Are You Eligible for a Whiplash Claim?
How would you go about making a proper whiplash claim for compensation following a car accident resulting in injuries?
Unlike other injuries that can occur in a car accident, a whiplash neck injury may not appear until the morning after. This can make it problematic to make a whiplash compensation claim.
However, you can make it easier to make a whiplash injury compensation claim, if you stick to the following guidelines following the accident:
Write down exactly what happened to cause the accident as soon as possible. Things you should try and note down include.
- where the accident took place
- what the time was
- whether there were any witnesses who can verify your story
- exactly what you said to the other person(s) involved
- what the weather conditions were like
You need to make notes of exactly what happened leading up to, during and after the accident.
Immediately visit your doctor or accident and emergency for a medical examination.
To protect both yourself and your potential whiplash compensation claim, you should have a complete medical examination as soon as you can, following the accident.
Remember it can take a few hours or days for symptoms of whiplash injury to appear.
Ask the doctor to write a report detailing any injuries you may have suffered as a result of the accident and the likelihood of you having suffered a whiplash injury.
Whiplash injuries can have long lasting effects leading to a dramatic impact on your life.
Severe injury may mean you are no longer able to work, so do not take a potential whiplash injury lightly, and make sure that you protect any future rights that that you may have to bring a whiplash injury claim.
