How To Claim For Whiplash After A Car Accident:-

Whiplash is a painful soft tissue injury sustained when your head is moved sharply forwards and backwards or side to side. If you are in a car accident, even a low impact one, you could have whiplash as a result of the car being shunted from behind or hit from the side.

If the accident was not your fault, then you will usually be able to make a claim for compensation for the pain, suffering and loss you have undergone because of the incident. Physical symptoms include back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and jaw pain, concussion and shock. You may also experience psychological symptoms such as disrupted sleep and anxiety.

How To Claim For Whiplash After A Car Accident

Following your accident, you should seek legal help as soon as possible so that the necessary evidence can be collected to form the basis of your claim.

If you ask us to act on your behalf, we will carry out the following work on your behalf, keeping you updated throughout:-

(1) Building Your Case

To start with we will go through the details of the incident with you to establish exactly what happened. Once we have the relevant information from you, we will notify the insurance company of the at-fault driver that you are bringing a claim and gather the relevant documentary evidence.

The insurer is required to assess your claim within a short period of time and decide whether or not to admit liability. This can be fairly straightforward in a shunting accident where the driver has admitted that he was at fault.

In the event that liability is denied, then we would gather evidence to show that the other driver was at fault. This could include witness statements and police evidence from the accident. You will need to recount what happened from your memory.  So, it is always better to speak to us as early as possible after an accident while the events are still fresh in your mind.

“They take care of everything. Hassle free, very friendly and super helpful with any question you may have, and always keep you updated on what’s happening.”

(2) Medical Assessments and Rehabilitation

We will arrange for you to have medical assessments so that we are able to provide evidence of the extent of your injuries. The number of assessments will depend on the severity of your injuries. If your pain and suffering are ongoing, then by having several medical examinations we will be able to show that your recovery is taking a substantial period of time. You may need to see specialists in different fields if your injuries have had a wide impact on your health.

You will also be able to attend rehabilitation and physical therapy and make a claim for any costs incurred.

“Michael was absolutely amazing through my time with him, constantly checking on my mental and physical state as well as keeping me updated regularly. I couldn’t recommend a better team to work with in any legal situation. Again, thanks Michael.”

(3) Obtaining Compensation

It is very often the case that a whiplash claim is settled before it reaches court. Once we have provided evidence that the incident was the fault of the other party together with medical evidence of your injuries, the insurance company usually make an offer of compensation to try to settle your case.

We will discuss this with you and give you our advice as to whether it is a sufficient sum and, if not, what more you could expect to receive. We will then enter into negotiations with the insurer’s solicitors to try and obtain and a satisfactory settlement for you.

In the event that your case goes to court, we will be by your side throughout to explain the procedure and help you through the hearing.

(4) Final Settlement

Once we have agreed a settlement with the insurance company or you have been awarded compensation by the court, the cheque will be sent to us.

100% Compensation – At McGee Solicitors we pass on 100% of your compensation to you. If your case has been successful, you can expect your legal costs to be paid by the driver’s insurance company.  Therefore, it will cost you nothing to claim.
