Car accident claims and compensation
Car accidents can be very traumatic, even if your injury is not serious. The most common claims for car accident compensation are whiplash claims, but claims can be made for a variety of road accident injuries as detailed below.
If you have suffered an injury in a car or road traffic accident as a driver, passenger or pedestrian due to the fault of another person, you could be entitled to claim accident compensation without paying a penny.
As personal injury experts, we know how to get you financial support, provide free medical treatment (if required) and a courtesy car (if you were the driver) quickly at no cost to you. We understand the impact that a road traffic accident injury can have on you physically, mentally and financially.
Car accident compensation will not make you better, but it may help to cover your losses and ease your suffering. Anyone who has sustained an injury in a car accident – whether they were the driver, passenger, a pedestrian or cyclist - should take professional advice about whether they would be eligible to make a car accident compensation claim.
It is particularly important to make a road accident claim if you’ve had to take time off work, causing you to miss out on earnings.
Our specialist injury claims solicitors will make sure that you receive the car accident compensation you are entitled to.
Common Road Traffic Accident Injuries
Whiplash injury
Whiplash injury can consist any of the following: Neck pain and stiffness, upper and lower back pain, headache and dizziness. Pain that starts with stiffness and soreness in the neck spreads to the shoulders and often to the arms and hands. Headaches can also be a major problem.
Whiplash accounts for 85% of all road traffic accident personal injury claims in the UK. It is mainly caused by low speed vehicle accidents with impact to a stationary vehicle from the rear.
Whiplash injuries frequently lead to ongoing back pain and it is likely that injuries to the neck can cause long term pain.
1 in 4 whiplash injury victims do not make a full recovery. They are unlikely to have had any treatment other than painkillers and possibly wearing a neck brace.
