WHIPLASH INJURY TO BACK AND SHOULDER RESULTS IN THE PAYMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ROAD ACCIDENT COMPENSATION

January 27th, 2010 admin

Our client was sitting in his stationary vehicle when a van reversed into him, causing a whiplash injury affecting his back and shoulder. The medical expert believed that with physiotherapy treatment the client would make a full recovery within 2 years of the accident and we were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just under £4,400.

A brief summary of events is set out below.

Date of Accident: 16.6.2008

Time between formal instruction and successful conclusion: 3 months

How the claim proceeded: As the van driver was clearly at fault, his insurers admitted liability promptly.

Were Court proceedings necessary?: No

Was a trial necessary?: No – the claim settled once medical evidence was obtained.

Outcome: The client secured £3,700 for his injuries and just under £650 for his financial losses (including travelling expenses and physiotherapy treatment).

Comment: It seems likely that this accident occurred because the van driver did not look back while he was reversing, and this resulted in our client suffering a painful injury.
