Whiplash symptoms include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness in the neck
  • Loss of movement in the neck
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness and blurred vision
  • Difficulty breathing and swallowing
  • Muscle spasms
  • Pain in the shoulders, arms and back

If your symptom is not mentioned here it does not mean you don’t qualify for compensation, our whiplash claim lawyers can help you to decide whether you have a valid claim.

It is also vital that you get appropriate rehabilitation for your whiplash injuries, a process which Shires Law can support you with to ensure you receive the treatment you need.

How Much Could You Claim?

Claim awards are largely dependent on the circumstance and severity of the injury. As a guide, severe injuries, such as severe whiplash trauma (permanent damage) can be potentially worth £97,500, compensation for less severe whiplash, usually those that will fully heal in a matter of months are generally rewarded within the region of £850 – £5,200.

Length of Claim

The length of a claim is again widely dependent on the situation and the injury, although rest assured that our car accident lawyers will deal with your case in the most time efficient manner. Claims for less severe injuries can typically be resolved within a few months, whereas a more severe injury could potentially take up to a few years.
