\"\"Whiplash is a highly unpleasant and frustrating injury to suffer from. It can make a person unable to complete or enjoy their normal daily tasks, such as going to work<\/strong>, socialising<\/strong>, or completing housework<\/strong>. Because the injury is not as plain to see as a broken leg or a laceration, some can write it off as being minor and think that it is nothing to worry about. This is simply not the case – and absolutely the opposite of what we believe here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have a great deal of experience with whiplash<\/a> sufferers – we hear about their injuries and the debilitating effect it is having on their life, and we are able to easily help them out. So we have nothing but the utmost respect<\/strong> and sympathies to whiplash sufferers<\/strong>. You may say sympathy is no good \u2013 I want action and assistance with bringing my claim against the person\/people responsible for my injury. This is exactly what we at The Injury Lawyers are able to assist with as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we are not only able to deal with your claim for compensation<\/a>, but we may also be able to arrange private treatment for your injuries; this means you may not have to wait on the NHS waiting lists. This treatment could range from physiotherapy to osteopathy. For many whiplash sufferers the treatment side of things<\/strong> can be equally as important as the compensation side<\/strong>, as many sufferers simply want their life to return to normal as quickly as possible.
\n<\/p>\n

Many of our clients suffering from whiplash<\/a> ask us what their claim could potentially be worth. Below I have set out some guidelines which many lawyers use from the Judicial Studies Board<\/em><\/strong> which bands whiplash in to categories in order to place on a value on a claim.<\/p>\n

Minor whiplash can be worth \u00a31,000 to \u00a35,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderate whiplash can be worth \u00a35,000 to 15,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Severe whiplash can be worth \u00a315,000 and over<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The deciding factors as to which band a whiplash claim<\/a> should go in can include the effect of it has had on your life, and the severity of the injury.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have a vast amount of experience in dealing with whiplash injuries. We work under a genuine no win no fee<\/a> agreement and give free claim assessments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
