For the last few years, the claims industry is getting
strength. Whiplash claims resulting
from accidents on roads or work places are among the other forms of accident
claims or injury claims.
Here whiplash claims arise while in
case of injury to the neck due to fault of someone else and both the affected
drivers as well as passengers could claim for whiplash injuries. Whiplash
injuries usually happen due to accidents in cars on roads, air turbulence in
planes, abruptly felling down and also from some sports related accidents.
Usually, such injuries do not show their signs instantly but may take few days to
come on the surface.
According to the Association of British Insurers, nearly
1,500 people claim for whiplash injury every day. Although, the number of road
accidents are falling but despite of this, a rise of about 25% in reported
whiplash injuries, has been seen, in the last four years. Whiplash claims cost £2
billion annually, with an extra £90 annual addition to the average motor
insurance premium. According to estimations, nearly 70% of road accident personal
injury claims are for whiplash in the UK, while it is 47% in
Germany, 32% in Spain and only 3% in France, and that is the reason UK is known
as Whiplash Capital of Europe. However, it is considered that a number of
whiplash injuries are frauds. Authenticity to such accident claims can be given
from evidence and a report from the medical expert.
James Dalton, the ABI’s Assistant Director of Motor and
Liability, noted:
“We believe our proposals offer the best cure for the UK’s
whiplash epidemic. Insurers want to make it simpler and quicker for genuine
whiplash claimants to get fair compensation. But whiplash is notoriously
difficult to diagnose, which means that for too many people it has become the
fraud of choice.”
Usually, the insurance companies approach the injured person
and give them required compensation without any involvement of legal
representation. However, injured people can search for a huge number of claim
services by looking online that are cost free and usually work in such a way that
the task would not become complicated for the person who is applying for such injury
claims. Looking for such services could be beneficial due to the
possibility of deception of insurance companies by giving lesser amount to the
injured person than the required amount.
Online services can help and
will not demand fees forcefully unless the case is on the side of the
applicant, i.e. no win no fee option. They also assure the applicant for
getting 100% of the compensation claim in case of success
