Road Traffic Accidents

With almost each one of us travelling in our own vehicles, the traffic on the road has increased considerably in the past few years and so is the risk for accidents on roads. Road traffic accidents can cause moderate, severe or even fatal injuries to people. This can be a frightful experience that may change the life of the victim completely as they may become handicapped, or even lose their source of income for the rest of their life due to any injury that they have sustained in the accident.

Whiplash Claim

Whiplash Injury is among the most common of injuries that people suffer from in road accidents. This is generally caused due to the impact of high speed or any forceful jerk. This normally occurs when a vehicle smashes into the rear end of the car. In case you have been a victim of a whiplash injury during a road accident that occurred due to negligence or mistake of someone else, you might have the right to ask for a compensation claim for the personal injury caused. The cost of compensation that is received for the claim of a whiplash injury is somewhere in the range of £750 to £86,000 according to the suffering or severity of the damage that has been caused to the victim.

Whiplash Injury Compensation Claims

If case you were the passenger in the vehicle that met with an accident, your compensation claim for the whiplash injury that it has caused you would be from the insurance group of the individual whose negligence led to the collision. On the other hand, if you suffered a whiplash injury while you were driving, walking on the road or roaming on your cycle, the claim should then be made against insurance group of the person who was driving the automobile that bumped into you.

In case you were the victim in a road traffic accidents that occurred in the past 3 years, no matter if you were a driver, passenger or just a pedestrian, you may be entitled to make a whiplash claim for compensation for the injury that you have suffered.
