Whiplash diagnosis and treatment

If you have suffered a whiplash injury in an accident - how do you obtain a diagnosis and the necessary treatment to help your recovery?

whiplash compensation procedures

If your personal injury was sustained in an accident and you have the right to claim compensation there are many benefits that can help your situation.

Firstly The Claims Connection provide all our claimants with a medical opinion on their condition. Usually the opinion will follow a detailed examination with our medico-legal doctors or orthopaedic consultants.

The doctor will be asked to provide a diagnosis and discuss the prognosis (recovery prospects and forecast) of your whiplash injury along with treatment and medication needs.

If physiotherapy is recommended then in many cases we can arrange this free of charge with the responsible parties insurers (this usually follows only after an admission of liability)

Medication may be recommended - usually this will take the form of anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants or pain killers.

Where symptoms are prolonged, further investigations may be necessary involving X rays, or MRI scans. Usually a follow up medical examination will be arranged in order to allow the doctor an opportunity to update and review the prognosis.
