With a whiplash injury this is even more important than other types of personal injury claims for compensation. The main issue with whiplash compensation claims is that whiplash injuries can be very difficult to accurately diagnose. Even though your injuries could have long term implications for your health and wellbeing, the insurance company will do their best to minimise the payout to you, and may even attempt to prevent compensation being made by trying to discredit your claim.

However, when a whiplash solicitor handles your claim, he will be able to contact the very best medical experts and barristers to help substantiate your compensation claim, and will be able to advise you how a court would likely view your case. We also know our opponents and their tactics, and how claims for whiplash injury compensation are likely to proceed. As such we can take steps to ensure that your claim will proceed as smoothly as possible, and we can maximise your chances of receiving a fair compensation settlement which will be sufficient to cover the full extent of your injuries.

What Can I Expect When I Call a Whiplash Solicitor?

Before you call a whiplash solicitor on our free claims helpline, it helps if you can think about your accident and the injuries you have sustained (you have probably done nothing else since the accident!). In order for a whiplash solicitor to properly assess your claim, he will need to be provided with detailed information about the accident which caused your injuries. You should tell the whiplash solicitor who answers your call about how the accident occurred, and why you think that that the accident was the result of third party negligence. In order to be eligible to claim whiplash injury compensation, there must be a third party to claim against, and that third party must have been at least partly responsible for the accident and your injuries. A whiplash solicitor will also need to know about the treatment you have received, and any ongoing medical treatment that you are still receiving.

A whiplash solicitor will then be able to assess your claim, and will tell you if he believes you are eligible to make a whiplash claim for compensation. Based on the information you provide, we will be able to give you an indication of the strength of your claim, the length of time it usually takes for a whiplash injury claim to be resolved, and how much compensation you should be entitled to claim.

Compensation for whiplash injuries will vary based on the severity of the injuries, and how they have affected your quality of life. If you have been prevented from playing sports due to your injuries, or require home help or have had to pay out for treatment or transportation costs, these will be factored into your claim for whiplash injury compensation.

We would like to assure you that any information that you provide to us will be in the strictest confidence, and that we would not attempt to contact the third party at fault or their insurers until you instruct us to do so. We will only make contact with the defendant in the claim once you have decided that you wish to proceed with a whiplash injury claim for compensation.

Our whiplash solicitor can also tell you about our No Win No Fee service, and if there are likely to be any costs involved that you will be liable for.

A Whiplash Solicitor Will Tell You How Long You Have to Claim Whiplash Injury Compensation

Claims for whiplash injury compensation must be made within a specific legal time frame, as dictated by the UK Statute of Limitations. The Limitation Act (1980) set such timescales in place to protect both parties when claims for compensation are necessary. The UK Statute of Limitations sets a 3 year time limit on making a whiplash injury claim; however how this law is applied is not always the same. Claims for whiplash injuries to children are treated differently, as a child cannot make a legal claim for compensation in the UK. Claims for whiplash injuries to children see the time period for claiming start when the child becomes a legal adult (claims can be made before this date by a ‘litigation friend’).

It is important that you seek advice on the Statute of Limitations from a UK whiplash solicitor to determine how the time limit applies to your individual claim. It may be in your best interests to delay initiating a claim for whiplash injury compensation, certainly until the full extent of your injuries are known. However you should not delay contacting a whiplash solicitor. Even if a claim would benefit from such a delay, there will still be procedures that need to be completed as soon as possible after the accident, such as collecting evidence of third party negligence and reporting your injuries to the proper authorities.
