With our roads becoming increasingly crowded, it is
almost inevitable that you or at least someone you know will be involved
in a traffic accident at some point in time. Thankfully today’s
cars offer high levels of driver and passenger protection, and most accidents
occur at low speeds with only minor injuries being sustained.

The most common form of injury resulting from a car accident is whiplash,
which is caused by the head moving forwards in relation to the body, before
returning back to position, this violent movement causes damage to the
neck muscles and can cause severe pain and reduced mobility of the head.
Many people who suffer whiplash in a car accident will claim compensation
from the at fault motorist’s insurance company, for both the pain
caused and any loss of earnings through not being able to work.
In the UK, it is a legal requirement for all drivers to have at least
third party insurance, this covers the driver if they cause harm to another
person, to property or to animals. Most insurance companies instruct their
customers not to admit or even discuss liability following a crash, advice
that you should follow. However, this can present a problem, as if you
are involved in an accident that was someone else’s fault, the chances
are that they will deny responsibility. If you wish to pursue a compensation
claim against them, you will need to be able to prove that they were at
fault, this can often be easily proven by the damage on the cars or by
witnesses who saw the accident.
In some cases it may be more difficult to prove the fault of the other
driver, and their insurance company may refuse to meet a claim against
them in the normal manner, in these cases you may need to employ a solicitor
to take action on your behalf in order to gain the compensation for the
car accident in which you were injured.
