Even an accident that seems minor can cause you back pain. If the pain is ongoing and lasts for more than two weeks, then it’s time to get some professional advice. You should start by seeing your GP to get a certificate of capacity and speaking to a lawyer for some professional advice about whether you’re eligible to make a claim.    You can chat with us online or give us a call on 13 15 15 for some free, personal advice about whether you can claim compensation for your back injury after a car accident.
