If you have suffered from a whiplash injury then this article may have useful information that you are looking for.
The first step in making a whiplash accident claim is to find a company that you can trust to handle your claim, a simple search in your local yellow pages can help you find what you are looking for, but perhaps an easier method may be to just conduct a simple search on Google for keyphrases such as "whiplash compensation" or "whiplash claims".
Doing this should bring you many useful pages in the search results which may allow you to make a claim from where you are sitting, without you having to even pick up the phone.
Generally speaking, when you complete the simple online form a legal representative will contact you at the first opportunity, when they do this they may ask you a series of simple questions with regards to your accident claim, the circumstances leading up to the accident itself, the location of the incident, the time and the extent of your injuries.
Please note if you wish to make a claim it is imperative that the injury you incurred as a result of the accident was not actually your own fault as in the past there have been a number of individuals who have started a claim that has been rejected due to it not being the third party in the wrong.
Also in most cases the accident whereby you suffered a whiplash injury must have been in the last six years otherwise the accident claim may be considered invalid.
