Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

Whiplash is a painful condition which is fairly common amongst people who have been involved in a road traffic accident.

In most cases a complete or near complete recovery will be made, however some people will suffer long term health problems.

Regardless of the severity of your whiplash injury, our specialist road traffic accident lawyers could help you claim compensation if you have been involved in a crash.

Our experienced team has helped thousands of motorists to claim compensation for whiplash. We’ll seek to achieve a settlement for you as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

Our Experience In Whiplash Claims

We have one of the UK’s most experienced road traffic accident teams. That means we understand the impact that a whiplash injury can have on your life and we can give you the advice and support that you need.

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck, shoulders or spine, caused by the rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head as the result of a collision.

This type of injury often responds well to physiotherapy and medical treatment. As well as working to help you claim compensation we will also help you access the treatment that you need.

If there is any doubt over the cause of your road traffic accident or the other driver denies being at fault, we have an accident investigation team who can gather evidence to support your claim.

Man Injured In Accident While Travelling With Bus-Hire Company

On 18 June 2011, our client was travelling along the Kingsway A725 towards Westwood, East Kilbride in a hired bus. Suddenly another vehicle collided with the rear of the bus and our client was thrown forwards into the seat in front of him.

The force of the collision caused our client’s shoulder and chest to strike the back of the seat and his neck to jerk. After the accident our client went to his GP at Hunter Health Centre in East Kilbride, where he was diagnosed with having suffered whiplash and bruising and was prescribed painkillers for his symptoms.

The injuries our client sustained in the accident mean that he wakes up every morning with a stiff neck, a problem which is still ongoing.

Liability in this case has been admitted and we have instructed a medical report on our client’s injuries to help support his claim. Thanks to the work of Irwin Mitchell’s specialist solicitors, we are confident that we will achieve a positive outcome for our client.
