Whiplash Claims Common Questions

Having helped hundreds of people to make whiplash claims, we hear many questions. Here are the most common ones, in case they are troubling you at the moment.

What is a whiplash injury?

Whiplash is most common following a car accident, particularly rear-end collisions, but it can also be caused by other accidents, such as tripping or slipping.

Whiplash occurs when a person’s neck whips backwards and forwards very suddenly.

This extends the muscles beyond their typical range of motion, causing them damage.

It can sometimes take hours or even days for symptoms to appear, after which they tend to gradually worsen over the following days.

The symptoms of whiplash typically include:-

Neck, shoulder and back pain
Stiffness & soreness of the neck
Headaches & Nausea
Dizziness

Whiplash injuries can cause long-term pain. In some instances, the symptoms become chronic and lead to ongoing issues. They can have a profound impact on your life, affecting your ability to sleep, work, exercise, and drive.

Can I make a whiplash claim?

You can make a whiplash claim if your injuries were due to someone else’s negligence.

To prove the other party was negligent, you must establish:

They owed you a duty of care. If you sustained your whiplash in a car accident that was someone else’s fault, the other party likely owed you a duty of care since all road users are legally obliged to take reasonable steps to protect others on the road.
They breached their duty. If the other party’s carelessness caused your accident, they may have breached their duty of care.
You suffered harm. Our whiplash solicitors will gather compelling evidence to show that the other party’s actions caused your injuries and to prove the extent and impact of those injuries. We’ll review your case and advise on your eligibility to claim compensation for whiplash.

How much compensation will I get?

The amount of compensation you’ll receive depends on the nature and severity of your injuries and how they’ve impacted your daily life.

You’ll be entitled to compensation for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity, which will be based on guidelines indicating appropriate compensation ranges for specific injuries, based on their severity.

For example, compensation for neck injuries that heal within 6 months will likely be anything up to £5,000.

Compensation for minor back injuries that heal without surgery within between 2 and 5 years can be anything between £15,000 and £37,500.

The amount of compensation you’ll receive for your pain and suffering depends on the circumstances of your case.

In addition, you’ll be compensated for any financial losses you’ve sustained, such as loss of earnings, medical costs, and travel expenses.

How much will it cost to make a whiplash claim?

Making a successful Compensation Claim will cost you nothing, as the other party’s insurers will pay your costs. We also ensure that you keep 100% of your compensation.

How long does a whiplash claim take?

While many whiplash claims are settled within 6 months, the exact timeframe depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries and whether the person responsible admits liability.

Remember, too, that a whiplash injury will often increase in severity at first and can take a long time to improve or stabilise. It’s essential that we wait to ascertain the full extent of your injury to ensure we secure all the compensation you deserve.

Wherever we can, we will fast-track your claim to ensure that you receive your compensation as quickly as possible. Our whiplash claims solicitors are expert negotiators, and most of our whiplash claims are settled before trial.

The insurance company usually sends the compensation cheque out quickly following a settlement.
