If you settle directly with an insurer, they normally won&#8217;t offer any more than couple of thousand pounds. If you get a lawyer, we can settle the claim properly using medical evidence and the brackets <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash_claims.php\">available for whiplash claims<\/a>. These are roughly as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minor Neck Injuries: \u00a31,500 &#8211; \u00a35,600<\/li>\n<li>Moderate: \u00a35,600 &#8211; \u00a327,500<\/li>\n<li>Severe: up to in the region of \u00a3106,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Where you fit in to these brackets is entirely dependent on medical evidence. Most people will fit within the legal definition of the minor bracket; so if you doctor tells you that you are suffering from &#8220;<em>severe whiplash<\/em>&#8221; that doesn&#8217;t mean you are due a payout of tens of thousands of pounds! <strong>The above are the legal brackets<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It can depend on how good your law firm is as well. We know from experience that most other lawyers will just settle a claim if an offer from the other side fits within the brackets. This is fine for them, and from a conduct perspective I suppose they are doing their job correctly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But we have a different attitude &#8211; we&#8217;re all about fighting for more<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Using our wealth of experience and legal know-how we don&#8217;t just settle for the first offer &#8211; we often end up making three or four offers to the other side and we are constantly countering with them to get you the most amount of money.<\/p>\n<p>The proof is in the pudding &#8211; <strong>I got \u00a36,500<\/strong> for my injury claim and I put that solely down to the lawyer working on my case fighting for more.<\/p>\n<p>So the maximum payout for a car accident is a very broad thing to look at. If you break your back you are looking at a significant payout. But when it comes to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/whiplash-injury.php\">common whiplash type injuries<\/a>, it could depend significantly on how you choose to settle your claim.
