\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we are frequently asked about how much a claim is worth.\u00a0 Thing is, everyone\u2019s claim is different because no-one has the exact same symptoms and those symptoms do not last the same amount of time in every case.\u00a0 For this reason, at the very start of your claim, we cannot give you an exact valuation, it is simply impossible no matter what anyone else may tell you.\u00a0 That said, we can explain how whiplash claims<\/a> are valued and value your claim at a later stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers we are expert whiplash lawyers having dealt with thousands of whiplash claims over many years.\u00a0 In fact, not a day goes by without one of our busy team progressing a whiplash claim towards settlement.\u00a0 Due to this experience, we are able to give you a rough idea as to how much your claim may be worth.\u00a0
\n
\nWhat you have to understand is that the value of your claim is dependent on the severity of your whiplash and how long you suffer your whiplash for.\u00a0 For example, a severe whiplash injury will be worth more than a moderate whiplash injury lasting the same amount of time<\/strong>.\u00a0 Likewise, a minor whiplash injury lasting six months will likely be worth more than a minor whiplash injury lasting one month.\u00a0 At the start of your claim we don\u2019t know how severe your whiplash is and how long it will last; we don\u2019t have a crystal ball unfortunately, and that is why we cannot give you an exact valuation.\u00a0 However, there are some guidelines that suggest how much a claim may be worth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Judicial Studies Board (JSB) guidelines suggest several figures for different types of whiplash injury.\u00a0 We can also say that a minor whiplash injury is worth \u00a32,500.00 as in fact this was the average payout for a whiplash claim last year.\u00a0 A whiplash injury lasting 3 \u2013 5 weeks though may only be worth \u00a31,000.00.<\/p>\n

To get a more precise value for your whiplash injury, you will need a legal medical report.\u00a0 This will typically be obtained once liability for your claim has been admitted and will be arranged at a time and place convenient for you and should only take 20 or 30 minutes.\u00a0 This legal medical report is key to valuing your claim because a medical expert will provide a diagnosis and prognosis (how long you will suffer for) and with this information a quality injury lawyer can properly value your claim.\u00a0 As we don\u2019t have a medical report at the start of your claim, it is impossible to value your claim<\/strong>.\u00a0 An injury lawyer will not know how bad your whiplash is as they are not a medical expert and they will not know how long you will suffer with your whiplash.<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that the figures I have mentioned for whiplash injury compensation only relate to the whiplash injury itself.\u00a0 Your claim could be worth more if you have suffered any other related losses, for example, a loss of earning due to having to take time off work, or costs of medication and\/or travel expenses in getting to and from medical appointments.\u00a0 Naturally, the greater your losses, the more your claim will be worth.<\/p>\n

If you want to discuss how a whiplash claim is valued in more depth, give our expert and friendly team a call today for free on 0800 634 75 75<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you have got whiplash and we believe you have good prospects of a successful claim for compensation<\/a> we will let you know and then if you decide you want to pursue a claim just let us know and we can get the ball rolling on this claim today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
