\"\"Some people feel that it is too much hassle to claim compensation<\/a> when they have been involved in a car accident<\/a>; especially when at the time they feel okay, but just a little shaken.<\/p>\n

The most common injury sustained is whiplash as a result of a car accident<\/strong>, and the symptoms of whiplash may not be evident until a few days after the incident – at which time you may feel it is too late or not worth bothering about.\u00a0 These delayed symptoms could have a severe effect on your future lifestyle, short or long term.<\/p>\n

Although a medical report is required, the appointment is usually no longer than 15<\/strong> \u2013 30 minutes<\/strong>, during which time the expert will discuss the accident with you and explore the pain and suffering that you are experiencing.\u00a0 On receipt of his report, your injury lawyer<\/a> will value your claim and liaise with the third party insurer.
\n
\nThere is no set amount awarded on whiplash claims<\/a> as each individual\u2019s circumstances are different, and it is unlikely that any two claims will be the same<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is your entitlement to claim not only for injuries sustained, but also for any inconvenience caused by the accident.\u00a0 You may have to cancel or postpone a holiday, or you may be unable to attend the gym for several weeks and still have to pay your gym subscription.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, don\u2019t be put off by feeling that it is not worth claiming for. The average whiplash claim can be around \u00a32500<\/strong> or more<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are suffering from whiplash as a result of an accident, contact us and we can discuss how to proceed with a claim.\u00a0 Trust me – It is worth bothering about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
