I jumped in to my car at 7:30am this morning and it was 24 degrees (according to my car) at that time in the morning – by the time I got to work, and judging by the heat of it outside now, we must be on at least 28 degrees at the moment! It’s fantastic weather, but like a typical Englishman, I will of course complain that it’s too hot – especially for a Monday in the office!

But, whatever the weather, come rain or shine, 6 foot deep in snow, or Costa Del Sol temperatures, The Injury Lawyers are always on hand between 9am and 10pm every weekday, and even on the weekends, to give you the best advice about your Whiplash Injury Compensation.

One thing I will say – don’t let the sun blind you out there on the roads, and try not to get distracted whilst you’re out and about in your car. Stay cool, keep your sunshades on, and be mindful of the drivers around you!

Back to the issue at hand – if you are currently suffering from a whiplash injury, and if you’re feeling somewhat lethargic because your enjoyment of this wonderful weather is hampered by the pain and agony whiplash generally causes, take my advice below and you should be able to get back on with your life as quickly as you can: and hopefully get yourself back to normal in the shortest possible time.

What to Do!

If your injury was caused through no fault of your own, I have some “light at the end of the tunnel” advice to give you. Here’s a step by step guide of what to do to get you Whiplash Injury Compensation in the right way.

1. Instruct an Independent Firm of Specialist Personal Injury Lawyers

Avoid going through your insurers or through a claims company – a referral fee is normally paid (which can be a staggering £800 average in some cases!) which will either result in a percentage deduction from your claim, an administration fee being paid by you, or a huge chunk of your solicitors budget being blown on buying the case; leaving you with a potentially poor service, and a solicitor without the resources to fight hard enough for your claim.

Go direct to an expert firm of personal injury lawyers, and get a Genuine No Win No Fee Agreement that guarantees you 100% of your compensation if you win (no deductions, no hidden charges), and confirms that you don’t pay a penny if it loses. Basically, whatever happens, you pay nothing – not a penny!

2. Get Treated for Your Whiplash Injury

With a quality injury lawyer, you should be provided with private medic al care at absolutely no cost to you right from the outset of the case – even if it loses, you never pay for the treatment. This should help you back on the road to recovery in no time; which in turn should hopefully sort you out by the time we see our next stint of wonderfully warm weather in the UK (if that even happens at all!)

3. Settle Your Whiplash Injury Claim when the Time is Right!

By all means, get your independent lawyer and start the process straight away – but ensure your injury lawyer is providing you with the best advice for settling. Your injuries are valued using a medical report from an independent medical expert. However, if you’re still suffering, it’s best not to settle your claim – you stand in far better stead to wait until you have fully recovered, had the correct amount of treatment, and ensure that the notes in the medical report are an accurate reflection of your suffering

WARNING: if your solicitor tells you to settle too early, I’d seriously question the integrity of the firm you have instructed. It is of course entirely up to you; but, your injury lawyer should be giving you the above advice. There are sometimes occasions when this may not be the case so make sure your lawyers give you the proper advice as to when you should be settling.

If you need to wait, your injury lawyer should be applying for an interim payment (part payment early before your claim is settled) in the event you are suffering financially; so fear not, you’re covered for this event.
