No work place is accident-proof. Despite of strict health and safety laws,
daily accidents are occurring at different work places in England. We
receive large number of work injury claims at ABS Law. This not only shows the increasing number of accidents
but also that people in United Kingdom
are now becoming aware that they have a right to get compensation for work accidents, injuries, sufferings and financial
losses.
It will be interesting for many to know that England is popular all over the
globe as ‘whiplash capital of the world’.
This is mainly because daily more than fifteen thousand Whiplash accident compensation claims are made. Most of
these claims are of minor injuries and stress.
Whiplash injuries result
due to sudden acceleration or retardation, stretching the spine soft tissues,
joint ligaments and muscles, with forceful movement of the body. There is a
common myth that Whiplash injury occurs when the vehicle is moving in high
velocity, which is not true. Even a car moving at 8 miles per hour can cause Whiplash
injury to a person. Mostly Whiplash injuries occur from rear and side-impact car accidents, work accidents and other accident types.
