Compensation Myth - Britain is in the grip of a 'Compensation Culture'

This has been a major concern that has been publicised over the past few years and the majority of people believe it. It is quite simply not true. Insurance companies want the public to believe it to try and limit or reduce the costs of settling claims. It is true that several high profile companies had a major effect on the number of claims being made a few years ago. Both these companies have since closed down and it turned out that many of the claims were not genuine. Often, it was the company that made them up without a victim at all. If these
companies are taken out of the equation, then the level of claims has not risen at all. Strangely, it is widely accepted that out of every 100 people who have accidents that were not their fault and are entitled to make a claim, only around 30 of them actually do so. If anything, more of the public need to exercise their right to claim compensation.
Get the services of an experienced whiplash injury solicitor who can help you in filing the case. He can also give you advice on how to prosecute the case properly if you want to win your whiplash injury case.

Get photographs of the vehicle accident. If you have a camera during the accident then it would do your case a lot of good if you can get shots of the actual accident. If you are heavily injured then you can ask someone to take photos of the accident as these photos will be very important later on.

Have a thorough medical check up a week after the accident if you are still feeling dizzy or you are experiencing blurred vision or have trouble concentrating. Watch out for any whiplash injury symptoms like irritability or depression and consult with your doctors immediately so he can add it the symptoms to your medical file.

Aim for the greatest financial compensation as much as possible. A person suffering from a whiplash injury can get compensation of up to two hundred pounds or more depending on the injuries sustained. If you can prove the severity of your whiplash injury then you might get a higher compensation.

The compensation you can get from a whiplash injury should not only be for the physical injuries you have suffered. You also deserve compensation for loss of wages and other opportunities because of the injury.

Always go for the complete test after a vehicle accident. And I mean not just the doctor checking your pulse or your heartbeat or any other visible injuries. It also means getting the X-rays a CAT scan or other tests. If you are paying for all of these tests then keep the receipts as you may need them when filing the case.


An industrial worker in the United Kingdom recently died after he fell from the defective roofing system of the factory where he was working. Another worker tripped while working as a packer in one of the juice factories in the UK resulting to spinal injuries. These and similar accidents are real and they are happening in UK. Try to get a solicitor under the no win no fee agreement. If you are hesitant about filing a whiplash injury case because you are concerned about your financial capacity to pay your solicitor then do not worry because there are personal injury solicitors who will offer their services under this scheme.

Check the documents that an insurance company will present you in an effort to negotiate a settlement. Make sure your solicitor has reviewed the settlement agreement because there may be terms that are not favourable to you like you may be agreeing that the insurance company will pay you in instalment or that you can no longer get additional compensation even if you discover a greater in jury later on.

Check your timeframe. A whiplash injury case can be filed in court within three years from the time of the injury. If you fail to file your case within this period then you may no longer have any whiplash injury case to prosecute much more to win. There are legal procedures that must be observed and no matter how serious your whiplash injuries are you will no longer get compensation if you fail to assert such right on time.

A whiplash injury can be horrible and can a very traumatic incident. It is only fair that those who were at fault for the incident should be penalized by asking them to compensate their victims. Help yourself get the proper compensation in your whiplash in jury case by considering these tips as the basic guidelines when filing your case.


If you have been involved in a work accident, it is best to consult a personal injury solicitor to help you decide on the legal actions that must be taken to protect your rights and to make sure you get compensation for the injuries you suffered as a result of the work accident. The solicitor can guide the injured worker into translating the circumstances of the work accident into paper for legal purposes.
