Our client was a passenger in a car that was struck from behind while it was stationary at a roundabout, when it was hit by a vehicle that had been shunted forward by another vehicle.  She sustained a whiplash injury to her neck and upper back, and suffered with headaches, but her symptoms largely resolved within 4 weeks of the accident.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for her of just over £1,300.
