There are a number of factors that will determine the amount of compensation that you receive; the most important factors are physical suffering and emotional suffering. Physical suffering is the pain you have been exposed to as a result of the accident and the amount of time required for your injuries to heal. Whiplash injuries can cause a lot of pain and inconvenience to everyday life. Often it can take some people up to 6 months to recover from whiplash injuries or even longer – therefore it is important that you are compensated for this physical suffering for the time frame you are disturbed by the injury.
You can also be a victim of emotional suffering such as depression as a result of your road traffic accident. Becoming immobile along with the inconvenience that whiplash injuries can bring may cause people to become depressed due to the huge change in lifestyle. If it wasn’t for the negligence of somebody else’s actions you would not be feeling this way and therefore you deserve the maximum amount of compensation, though this is often a rare case. travel anxiety can also be a common problem.
But how much exactly can you receive for your physical suffering?
Here is some guidance to the amount of compensation you may receive for your whiplash injury:
Injury Recovery Period Compensation
Whiplash to neck 4 Weeks £850 – £1,000
Whiplash to neck 1 Year £2,250 – £3,000
Whiplash to back 2 Years £2,500 – £5,000

These losses can include any loss of earnings, travel expenses, any medical costs, and can even include any money used for care and assistance you may have had to receive due to the accident.
