Whiplash Injuries Compensation

If someone can prove that another person has been negligent and caused them loss, injury or expense, they are entitled to claim whiplash compensation. However, how can you decide what is the right amount of compensation to be paid for a whiplash claim?

However, that is the purpose of Whiplash Compensation.
How is the amount of whiplash compensation decided?
The amount of compensation for your whiplash injury is decided by referring to the Judicial Studies Board guidelines for the assessment of damages. This sets out certain amounts depending on the severity of your injury and will be used by your solicitor and the insurance company to agree a compensation settlement for your whiplash claim.
In addition to using the Judicial Studies guidelines for a general opinion on the amount of compensation, previously decided cases will also be reviewed. This will give your solicitor a good indication of the amount of compensation you can expect to receive.

This can include items such as lost earnings if you are unable to work as a result of your injury, travel expenses (to Hospital, for example), medication and treatment expenses. It can also include your claim for vehicle damage and will ensure that your no claims bonus is protected.
