Whiplash – unless you’ve had it, you’ll probably have the same rather limited and misunderstood idea that it’s nothing but a little pain and stiffness in the neck that has hardly any affect on the victim whatsoever.
But if you have had it or you are suffering with it now, then you no doubt realise that it can be a lot more complicated and a lot longer lasting than most people think. I’ve had it, and in some ways, it’s never fully gone away three years on.
Here we’ll look at private treatment for whiplash which can normally help a lot.
There isn’t really any magic cure or sound method of getting rid of a whiplash injury. Normally there isn’t a great deal that your doctor can do other than suggest you take some pain medication and a course of anti-inflammatory drugs as well. In some ways it’s just a waiting game but there is action you can take to help yourself recover as quickly as you possibly can.
A course of physiotherapy will often help a lot – I know because I’ve had the injury, and I had physiotherapy, and I can vouch for it helping. Some people will need the standard once a week session for a few weeks whereas some may need some more in depth assistance from a chiropractor or osteopathic care provider.
But the important thing is this – why wait for treatment on a lengthy NHS waiting list when you can get access to private medical care with The Injury Lawyers?
Our medical partners can fund the cost of the treatment and it can be recovered from the other side if the claim is successful. You don’t need to worry about stumping up any upfront cash at all.
You also don’t need to wait for the other side to accept liability before we can go ahead with treatment because our care providers can fund the lot on the basis that we have a good enough chance of winning the case. If it doesn’t win then the cost can be recovered form their own insurance meaning you get access to fast treatment which is also on a no win, no fee basis of sorts.
Many law firms will wait until the other side have accepted fault first but we work differently, and more efficiently, to get you the help you need when you need it the most – right at the start of the claim.
With the government legal fee reforms last year causing chaos as accident victims face deductions of up to 25% or more from their claim, and upfront fees for insurance, you’re better off speaking to us as we don’t have to take 25% and we don’t have to have any upfront charges either.
