What is whiplash?
No matter how minor or severe neck injuries are, they can’t be overlooked and have a huge impact on everyday life. Whiplash is defined as a neck injury caused by the forceful, rapid back and forth, side to side movement of the neck, and the most common cause of whiplash is road traffic accidents. If you have experienced symptoms of whiplash following a road traffic accident, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced personal injury solicitors.
