Whiplash injury compensation

One of the most common types of personal injury that we encounter is of course whiplash.

These injuries can be very painful and often lead to varying levels of disability which can sometimes be permanent.

Whiplash compensation claims:

If you have been involved in an accident and suffered injury then we may be able to help you claim compensation. Our service operates nationwide and is available to all. Making a claim is simple and cost free.

The Claims Process

Once we have made contact with the insurers dealing with your case we will need to discuss liability.

We then ensure that claimants are examined by specialist doctors who can advise on a recovery period and where appropriate recommend treatment to help with any residual symptoms. In many cases we can arrange physiotherapy free of charge with the compensating insurer (subject to liability). 

Following the examination the medical expert will provide a report upon which we will negotiate your compensation award.

GENERAL NOTES

MAKING A WHIPLASH COMPENSATION CLAIM

Even minor road accidents can result in a whiplash type injury being suffered. The shunting mechanism involved in most impacts forces the head back and forth which can damage the muscles in and around the spine. In serious cases there can be a bony injury - fractures to the vertebra, misalignment leading to prolapsed or damaged discs.

Generally whiplash injuries are to be treated very seriously because the symptoms can be long lasting and debilitating. Early physiotherapy can be very important where medically recommended.

Our solicitors are experts in managing whiplash compensation claims. They will ensure that you receive physiotherapy treatment (usually at no cost to you) and medical advice which helps you to recover. They will also be able to advise you what level of compensation should be sought. Even minor claims can justify compensation of more than £1000. With any claim the emphasis should be on helping the claimant to recover as well as obtain rightful compensation.

DO I NEED A PERSONAL INJURY SOLICITOR?

You do not necessarily need a solicitor to pursue a claim but if you have suffered personal injury it is highly recommended that you do in fact instruct one. Insurers would be quite happy for you to deal direct with them because they have experienced staff who will negotiate a quick and potentially satisfactory settlement for you. But your chances of a fair settlement are substantially reduced if you do not use a personal injury solicitor. You must protect your interests at all times.

Your solicitor will advise you of exactly what you are entitled to claim and what level of compensation you should receive. The solicitor will then negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf ensuring that you recover everything that you are entitled to along with treatment and appropriate medical advice. Do not accept anything less. Read more about solicitors here.

WHAT ABOUT LOANS AND INJURY CLAIM INSURANCE?

DO I RECEIVE 100% COMPENSATION

Yes - you do receive 100% of your compensation. We do not make any deductions from your claim because your damages reflect your pain and suffering. Your compensation award belongs to you.

WHAT CAN I CLAIM FOR

If you make a claim you may be entitled to:

Pain and suffering, loss of amenity, treatment costs (most insurers will place you on a free physio program if such treatment is medically recommended and liability admitted) and potentially other items such as private surgery in the case of more serious personal injuries.
