People who have been involved in a road accident can claim whiplash compensation with the pain and suffering, loss of income, destruction of any of property involved in the crash and any financial loss or expense they sustained as a result of the accident.
Every whiplash compensation claim differs from the others and the amount of whiplash compensation awarded depends upon a number of factors. A number of claims, particularly minor whiplash cases, caused due to traffic accident may be resolved within a couple of months. Severe injury claims generally take longer mainly because of the evidences that the victims need to have, such as medical evidences from an Orthopedic Specialist or Surgeon. It is in everyone’s interest to process your whiplash compensation claim without delay.
You can even make whiplash compensation claim if you have involved in an accident caused by a family member or friend. The family member or friend who caused the accident can have car insurance, where you can claim from. The reason for this insurance coverage is to provide compensation to any person who suffers injuries or loss because of the fault of the driver. By law, all drivers must have insurance, so your whiplash compensation claim will be sent across to the insurer of the driver responsible for the accident.
It is best to be suspicious of anyone offering to settle your claim immediately because it is likely that the amount they are offering you will most likely be much lesser than that you would typically expect to get by using a solicitor to make your claim. It can appear to be a very attractive offer when someone offers you a sum of money for your injury. However, these offers are rarely as good as they first appeal as you may have to attend series of medical examination, loss of income because of absences at work and a lot more.
The practice of buying off accident victims by insurance providers is widespread and in doing so, it denies you the right to seek your own independent advice. There are lots of other areas of life in which you could take legal advice, and if you’ve been injured in an accident, this should be no different.
