Situated in North East England, Hartlepool has a population of around 90,000.

Whiplash

Whiplash describes various types of neck injury caused by sudden movement of the head. Injury usually presents in the form of a ligament sprain, which occurs when the ligaments – connective tissues between bones – are stretched too far. A person suffering from whiplash is also likely to experience some degree of damage to the muscles and tendons in his neck. In extreme cases, whiplash has been known to mask some of the symptoms of minor bone fractures.

Typically, whiplash does not last long. Symptoms usually resolve themselves after several days or weeks, but sometimes pain and discomfort can be experienced for many months. Chronic whiplash is particularly damaging, as the patient may experience severe pain and immobility for a long time, affecting daily life and work opportunities. Whiplash injuries in Hartlepool are often caused by vehicle collisions.

How to Claim
