Whiplash Claim

A Whiplash claim is common after a car accident collision. The injury occurs due to the neck being suddenly thrown backwards then forwards, as may happen due to the sudden deceleration caused by impact in a motor vehicle accident. This action can damage the joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves discs and tendons in the neck.

Whiplash symptoms are typically noticed the next morning after an accident, and medical advice should be obtained as soon as possible.

Although the effects are not usually permanent a whiplash injury can produce neck pain headaches, dizziness, shoulder and lower back pain for some time after the accident and can be very unpleasant.

If you have suffered a whiplash injury, please ask for a Free Legal Assessment.

Trip on highway

Mrs J tripped on a pothole whilst crossing a service road running parallel to a main road, fracturing her shoulder, wrist and ankle. The Council initially denied full liability for her accident alleging Mrs J was partly to blame for not avoiding the pothole. Excalibur arranged a Conference with a barrister and on his advice rejected this. After intense negotiations Mrs J was awarded £17,000.00 she said:

"I had help from the start regarding my claim and found the advice very reassuring. I have never had to make a claim before so was apprehensive but you did a lot to alleviate my worries. Thanks again for all your help and support."

Mrs J from Birmingham
