It might sound incredible but whiplash claim solicitors, including public liability lawyers and road accident lawyers, because of their extensive experience in handling whiplash claims can choose to act as deputy health officers in case you want them to. Although admittedly their skill in the medical sciences is vastly inferior and incomparable to those of professional doctors and nurses, they nevertheless know the basics of whiplash injuries enough in order to give simple advice on how to treat them.
Their extensive experience in whiplash claims are the reason, as was mentioned, for this minor specialization. It would be interesting to note, however, why they developed it. The reason is because they themselves have to master the fundamentals of whiplash injuries, its seriousness and treatment, because they have to assess for themselves whether the whiplash claims of their claimants are worth the trouble of a formal lawsuit. If they are unaware of how acute whiplash differs from chronic whiplash, then they would have a hard time using the compensation calculator, for example.
The gravity of the claimant’s whiplash injury is also an important fact that they must at all times be able to ascertain because not all claimants can immediately provide them with a medical certificate. Moreover, it is by looking at how whiplash is treated, not just at its symptoms, that this gravity is determined. For instance, if a case of whiplash requires extreme physical therapy and regular doses of painkillers, then the claimant may be perceived as suffering from a serious injury, and the claim must be matched accordingly.
