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.
Accident happening at work is a common problem even in the UK where the law
imposes strict rules on work safety standards. While the UK authorities are
bent on providing safe work environment for its human resources, it is a sad
fact that accidents at work still do happen.
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.
In cases where clients on benefits are awarded amounts over £10, 000, they
may be vulnerable to having their state benefits removed. In these cases he
recommends setting up a personal injury trust. Such arrangements “give the
client the benefit, but not ownership, of the fund and consequently keeps
the government from grabbing a share of the award in the form of reduced
state benefits.”
