Whiplash is a very common injury in road traffic accidents. It is caused by a sudden acceleration and deceleration, which flexes the tissue in the neck, shoulders and back. Whiplash can sometimes take several days to materialise and it often lasts for many months or years thereafter. Common symptoms are neck, back and shoulder pain, dizziness and loss of feeling or pins and needles in the arms or hands.
With the rise in road traffic levels, road traffic accidents are becoming very common. You may have been involved in a road traffic accident in the following situations:
- You were the driver of a vehicle (such as a car, van, bus, lorry, motorbike/motorcycle, bike/cycle) involved in a road accident caused by another driver.
- You were a passenger in a vehicle involved in a road traffic accident caused by either another driver or by the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in, e.g. passenger in a taxi, passenger on a bus or travelling in a friend's car.
- You were a pedestrian or a cyclist involved in a road traffic accident.
Every case is unique and the compensation awarded is dependant upon your individual case. Examples of compensation amounts awarded for injuries suffered from a car accident:
- For a minor whiplash type injury - £850 - £5000
- For a moderate whiplash type injury - £5000 - £16000
- For a severe neck injury – up to £95000
*Please note that these are guideline figures only.
If you were a passenger in a vehicle and were injured as a result of fault by your driver, you can still make a claim. Some people do not like the idea of making a claim against their friend or family remember but you should know that the claim is directed towards the insurance company of the vehicle and the insurers deal with the claim.
