Whiplash Injury Claim Compensation Solicitors

Whiplash Claims Solicitors at Invicta Legal Help You Get the Compensation You Deserve!

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden and forceful back-and-forth motion during an accident. It often occurs in road accidents, sports injuries, slips and falls. Whiplash can cause neck and spine pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, limited movement or immobility, and in some cases, pain in the shoulders, arms, or back. In many cases, people recover within a few months, but some may experience long-term pain or complications. 

Whiplash may impact your life, work, and finances. You may be eligible for compensation if you have experienced a whiplash injury due to an accident that wasn’t your fault.

At Invicta Legal, our team of experienced solicitors actively dedicates themselves to helping you get the compensation you deserve. We work on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront legal fees and only a percentage of your settlement if your case is successful.

Important Considerations Before Making A Whiplash Claim

• Making a whiplash claim is possible if your head suddenly moves back and forth, most commonly due to a car crash.
• The symptoms of whiplash might not show up immediately; they could take a day or two to appear after the injury.
• You have the choice to choose independent solicitors to deal with your claim, rather than insurance companies’ panel solicitors.

How to Make a Claim for Whiplash Injury?

Whiplash symptoms typically disappear within a few weeks or months. If they last longer, or if they force you to miss work and cause you to lose money, you have the right to file a whiplash claim.

In more serious cases, your claim may provide financial assistance if additional medical treatment and physiotherapy are required. Any compensation will go a long way towards assisting you in bearing any additional costs

How Much Compensation Can You Get for a Whiplash Personal Injury Claim?

The government has introduced new regulations to combat fraudulent or exaggerated claims. Since May 31, 2021, significant changes have been made to the whiplash claims process. The limit for whiplash claims has been increased from £1,000 to £5,000. If your claim falls below £5,000, then it will be considered a small claim.

Compensation for whiplash injuries is now subject to fixed and predetermined payouts based on the severity and duration of the injury. For example, there is a set amount for minor whiplash injuries lasting less than three months. This standardised approach ensures transparency and simplifies the process for both claimants and insurers. 

Additionally, claimants are required to obtain medical evidence to support injury claims before making any payouts. This measure helps ensure that only legitimate claims are compensated, protecting the interests of all the parties.

Our approach adheres to the above-mentioned government regulations, ensuring you have the most effective way to claim compensation for your whiplash injury.

When Can You Claim for Whiplash?

You have a three-year to file a claim after the accident, or within three years of becoming aware of any injuries caused by the accident. If you were under 18 when the accident happened, you must file a claim until the day after your 21st birthday.

1. If you are filing a claim on behalf of someone with diminished mental capacity, there is no deadline.
2. Starting your claim as early as possible is essential, as it provides us with the best opportunity to collect all the evidence needed to build a strong case.
