Whiplash and Road Accident Claim Questions
Here we list the questions we most commonly are asked by our clients.
How long will the claim take?
We understand that often you want the claim to be over as soon as possible. Your expert solicitor will be able to tell you how long the claim will take once they have found out how bad your injuries are and whether you will need any medical treatment. Once you have passed on your details to your solicitor they will take care of the claim for you and will keep you advised of all developments.
How much compensation will I receive?
You will receive the right amount of compensation for your losses and injuries. This will include compensation for your pain and suffering and also for your losses and expenses including lost earnings, transport and treatment costs. For more information please see our Whiplash Compensation section.
How long do I have to make a claim?
The basic rule is three years from the date of the accident, or three years from your 18th birthday. If you are in any doubt about whether you can make a claim please contact us as soon as possible using the enquiry form below and a solicitor will call you back promptly.
