Whiplash injury claims and compensation amounts for other neck injuries

Whiplash and neck injuriesThe amount of compensation payable for pain and suffering following a whiplash injury depends on various factors and no two claims are the same.

When awarding compensation consideration is given to severity, the recovery period, and whether or not there are any permanent residual long term symptoms.

Neck and whiplash Injuries
Whiplash injuries are caused by a sudden acceleration of the head that can lead to tearing of muscles, ligaments, and other soft-tissues.

The most commonly injured muscles are in the front of the neck which can become very sore for several weeks.

Whiplash can also cause a stretching injury to the neck ligaments. Common symptoms include headaches, stiffness, neck pain, mild dizziness, problems thinking or remembering, numbness and tingling, and jaw pain. Low back pain and hip pain are also common.
