The best answer is this: straight away!
It is best to start your claim for whiplash personal injury compensation as soon as possible. Here are a number of reasons why:
Better Medical Evidence = Better Valuation?
To value your whiplash claim, we send you to see a medical expert. The expert provides us with a report, and we use the report to value the claim. It doesn’t matter too much if you are fully healed by the time that you see the expert, as a lot of their report is based on a meeting with you and notes from your medical records if they’re applicable. However, if you are still suffering from symptoms when you see the expert, they can comment on this in the examination.
We always aim to arrange a medical appointment as early as possible. It also allows us to assess at an earlier stage what further investigation or possible treatment you may need.
Access to Treatment – When You Need it the Most!
We can organise private medical care to be funded from the other side. You’re likely going to need it at the earlier stages of the claim when you are still suffering. This treatment will help you to recover quicker and get you back on the road to recovery at a much faster rate. Starting the claim as soon as you can allows us to sort out the treatment when you need it the most!
Interim Payments
If you are suffering financially, perhaps from being off work due to your injuries, we can ask the other side top provide you with an interim payment. This is a part payment you can receive before the claim is settled. Starting the claim earlier allows us to apply for an interim payment as soon as possible. As such we can try and recover an amount that is reflective of your losses to date to help you cope financially – again, when you need it the most.
Quicker Settlement
Naturally, the earlier you start the claim, the earlier we can settle it in some cases. This is kinda self explanatory!
