| Have you had a
car accident and you are wondering if a
whiplash claim is worth doing, you need to
asses the situation and the accident you have just had. Are
you injured as a result of the accident.? Have you appointed an
accident injury solicitor to act on your behalf?
Reputable accident injury claim solicitors have to act within
certain guidelines and are monitored by the Ministry of Justice.
Failure to abide by their rules results in their inability to
trade with in the Claims industry
No Win No Fee Solicitors
What does no win no Fee mean?
It means that the Solicitors firm that take on your case will
not charge you should the claim fail. The Solicitors firms are
not silly people - they will go through your claim with a fine
tooth comb to assess the true situation, they will ask for
Police reports - hospital reports, doctors reports, witness
statements, correspondence from your insurers - if applicable.
Upon deciding to proceed with your case - they generally will
have a good feeling about the ability of obtaining you
compensation for your injury.
So where do the Solicitors earn their money?
From the costs that are awarded, not from your compensation -
You as a claimant keep 100% compensation - The Lawyers recoup
their costs from the costs awarded by the courts.
what happen as a result of the Car accident - assuming it was
a car accident?
Usually Whiplash - is as a result of a rear shunt to the
vehicle you were in at the time of the accident. 10 miles an
hour or above is usually the speed that whiplash can occur,
that's the speed which the vehicle/car/bus/lorry/van etc would
have collided in to your rear.
as soon as you have an accident where you have been hit
from the rear - we recommend that you go to see your Doctor and
report the accident - Whiplash side effects can appear days or
weeks after the actual event - referred pain to the shoulder -
back or arms can happen as a result of damaged nerves, muscles
etc.
