I am absolutely delighted with the service I received from Thorntons. Joanne was highly professional and exceptionally helpful throughout the process. She kept in regular contact and was very supportive, explaining everything very clearly as things progressed. I cannot thank her enough for all her help and would have no hesitation in recommending Thorntons and Joanne to anyone considering using their services

What are the different types of neck and back injuries?

Neck and back injuries can cover a wide range of conditions and vary considerably in severity, recovery time and long-term effect. They can also include whiplash. The broad categories of such injuries are given below, but we understand every situation and injury is different.

Whiplash

If you are involved in a road traffic accident, you may suffer whiplash but not immediately experience symptoms. You may find you develop pain in the neck and back, dizziness and issues with sleeping, within 24-48 hours after the accident.

We have a specialist team who focus on whiplash claims. Their experience means they are best placed to assess how much your claim is worth and their experience in negotiation means they will help you recover what you are entitled to.

They will help you claim for the pain and suffering caused in addition to the impact on your personal and work life, be it from lost wages from time off work, additional travel expenses or for the help you required around the house. Our whiplash page gives more information on the impact of such an injury.

Neck injury

Neck injury is a broad term, covering many different types and severity of conditions. Consequences can be similarly wide-ranging, from discomfort for a number of weeks to being left with a permanent disability needing care and attention on a daily basis. If the injury was not your fault, then you may be able to claim compensation, helping you deal with the financial impact of your neck injury on your home or work life.

We have contacts within the medical profession which means that whether you have got a strained neck or a severe fracture we can make sure you are seen by the right specialist to assess your injury and support you throughout your personal injury claim.

Back injury

Back injuries can vary in impact greatly – from causing short-term discomfort to injury resulting in permanent disability – and can mean dealing with the financial worries of lengthy time off work or even having to cope with long-term life changes.

Such injuries can also happen in many different contexts, including workplace accidents due to inadequate training or poor conditions, sporting injuries, slips or trips, or road accidents. Prompt specialist legal advice can help assess who was responsible for the accident and if you have grounds for a compensation claim.

Whether you have got a trapped nerve, a slipped disc or complex fracture, we can make sure you are seen by a specialist so you know the extent and possible impact of your injury, and can get the right support.
