In the UK there are thousands of road traffic accidents occurring on our busy roads, which means there are a lot of claims for whiplash. Whiplash is one of the most common types of injuries associated with road traffic accidents; what many people do not realise is that they can claim for compensation for suffering from a whiplash injury.
The law states that if you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligent actions you are entitled to claim for compensation and be financially placed back in the position that you would have been in if the accident had not occurred. On the injury side of things, we cannot take away the pain you have endured, but we can settle your case for a financial sum as compensation for the suffering you have endured. And so you should be able to – why should you suffer from the pain and inconvenience of whiplash just because of someone else’s negligent actions?
So how do you go about making a claim for compensation? Well, first of all, you need to find an expert personal injury lawyer who can guarantee you 100% of your compensation and provide a genuine no win no fee agreement. We here at The Injury Lawyers can do just that!
To get things started you need to complete a Claim Notification Form which confirms all the circumstances of your accident and injuries and explains why you think the third party are at fault. This only takes around 10 minutes with the help of your specialist personal injury lawyer. Some important information you need to have is:
- The accident date, time and location of the accident
- The vehicle registration number of the third party at fault
Once the form is complete we will send it electronically to the third party insurer as this will stop any delays in the post allowing your claim to get moving as quickly as possible. The procedure to make whiplash claims is designed to be efficient and effective to allow an innocent victim to be compensated as soon as possible. Once the form has been submitted the third party insurer has 1 business day to acknowledge receipt of the form and a further 15 business days to investigate and respond in relation to liability.
So, what happens when we receive a response? Well, we will organise a medical appointment in order to obtain a medical report to allow us to value your claim. We will organise the medical appointment at a time and place that is convenient for you. Your medical report will provide details of your injuries and how long you are likely to suffer for. We will then disclose this evidence to the third party insurer to allow us to negotiate and get the maximum amount of compensation possible!
It really is that simple – if you have been involved in a road traffic accident that was not your fault, do not hesitate to call us on 0800 634 75 75 for free no obligation legal advice to get the compensation that you deserve.
