Whiplash Claims

In 2013, Cork and Dublin had the poorest road safety record while Monaghan, Donegal and Kerry had the highest fatality rate per million of population in 2013. Clare, Carlow, Leitrim, Longford and Waterford were the counties with the fewest fatalities with two road deaths in each county.

Whiplash can be inflicted on a person through other means, such as a sporting injury or a fall, but is mainly associated with car crashes.

It occurs when another vehicle hits the vehicle that the victim is occupying and the sudden impact causes a sharp movement of the head. This unexpected and violent displacement causes damage to the neck, shoulders and often the back, creating painful injuries that can affect your daily life.

Have You or a Close Family Member Suffered Whiplash in a Road Traffic Accident?

Whiplash might not be immediately evident at the scene of a car crash. The pain and restrictions on mobility might only become evident once a day or more has passed, rather like when a bruise appears a day after bumping a knee. You should see a medical professional, such as your GP or hospital staff, to have the extent of your car crash injuries initially assessed. Your car insurance provider may request to send you to see a doctor for an examination, however it is in the interests of insurance companies to try to keep settlement amounts to a minimum. 

It would be more to your greater benefit if you were to appoint a solicitor for this purpose. Lalloo Solicitors would make an appointment for you to see a private doctor who is a specialist in diagnosing whiplash injuries, so that the extent of the damage can be assessed. This can then be used to calculate how much whiplash claim you are entitled to.

The highly experienced personal injury solicitors at Lalloo Solicitors have already worked to ensure that many motorists with the symptoms of whiplash have been awarded a settlement for whiplash. We work hard to settle a claim as swiftly and effectively as possible.

How Do I Know I Can Make a Claim for Whiplash?

Whiplash can be a tricky injury to diagnose, since it affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues of the upper body without any obvious visual signs. An examination by a suitable medical professional and an investigation by a legal professional at Lalloo Solicitors we will help to establish your claim’s validity. There may also be other financial considerations that you deserve to be compensated for, such as:

• Loss of earnings if the whiplash has prevented you from working
• The cost of physiotherapy as you attend sessions that help you to recover physically
• Other expenses that have been incurred such as for journeys to medical appointments

To comply with the law, a claim should be made within two years of the road traffic accident taking place. The easiest way to find out if you can make a whiplash claim is to contact Lalloo Solicitors for a confidential chat.
