Car Accident Claims

Neck injuries are one of the most commonplace – and painful – results of accidents. Neck injuries are also, unfortunately, a common side effect of being in a car accident.

Whiplash is a particularly unpleasant effect of such an accident. The upper body is hurled forward and then backwards causing a severe jolt. The resulting injury is likely to be long-lasting and is concentrated on the neck area, often meaning the sufferer is forced to wear a neck brace for up to 6 months.

However, it is not only the victims of negligent driving who sustain painful, debilitating neck injuries. Any employee who is involved in manual work – particularly the type of work that necessitates lifting and carrying is at risk.

Although employers are bound to offer specific training in order to inform staff members of proper manoeuvres to lessen the risk of injury, often these are ignored.

Office workers are, perhaps surprisingly, also prone to such injuries. Quite frequently the employer will simply move office furniture such as tables and chairs around the work area, taking no notice of the individual needs of the employee.

Naturally, this puts a severe strain upon the upper body – in particular the neck. This, coupled with an absence of regular breaks will also cause injury.

A ‘no win, no fee’ lawyer is an expert in these types of car accident claims. The solicitor will handle your personal injury claim from its inception to its finish in the courts. Throughout this procedure, the claimant is not required to put up any form of finance upfront. The no win, no fee compensation will be awarded to the claimants.
