Making a whiplash claim
If you have been involved in an accident which was not your fault and has resulted in a whiplash injury, you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim.
As with all personal injury compensation claims, you would need to prove that another person was responsible for your whiplash injury.
To help your case, you should take names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses to the accident and take photographs of the accident locus if possible. If the whiplash injury is caused in a Road Traffic Accident and the negligent driver has no valid insurance, leaves the scene or admits to driving a stolen vehicle, you should contact the Police immediately and report the incident.
If you are intending to claim expenses such as prescription costs and travelling expenses incurred as a result of your whiplash injury, remember to keep receipts as evidence.
