Whiplash is an injury that commonly occurs in rear-end car accidents* when the neck is forcefully jolted back and forth upon impact. While often referred to as a soft tissue injury, for the sufferer, it can have a huge impact on their daily lives.
Symptoms can include, stiffness, severe pain, mobility and range of motion issues, as well as tenderness in other areas such as the upper back and shoulders. Headaches are often found to be present and in more serious cases, numbness or tingling in the arms have been reported.

Who is responsible for your personal injury* will depend on how the accident* happened. If your injury was sustained in a road traffic accident*, the driver who caused the accident* will be responsible and we will seek damages from their insurance company. If your injury was sustained in a public place it may be the owner of a property or a government body who will become the mark. If your injury was sustained at the workplace due to the negligence of an employer or colleague, it will most likely be your employer who is responsible and we will seek damages from their insurer.
Every accident* has different elements to it, and because of that, no two cases are identical. The process of getting the best result in a personal injury case may differ according to the unique circumstances of the case. We at Personal Injury Solicitors Dublin specialise in getting the best result for you.
Your entitlements resulting from a personal injury will depend on the circumstances surrounding the accident*, and the losses suffered. You may be entitled to loss of earnings if you have been absent from work as a result of the accident*.
