Whiplash injuries range in severity, from minor injuries where a recovery can be made in days or weeks, to serious injuries, which may result in permanent or long-term issues.

It is often crucial that these injuries are treated as quickly as possible by the use of physiotherapy or other forms of treatment. As experienced whiplash claims solicitors, we can quickly organise treatment can care.

To settle your whiplash injury claim and recovering compensation together with costs on your behalf, we will contact the other driver or their insurance company direct. We will then obtain medical evidence on your behalf before entering negotiations. If the other driver is uninsured then you may have a claim via the MIB. We will liaise with the MIB on your behalf in such circumstances.

No Win, No Fee Whiplash Claims Explained

We handle many personal injury claims on a No Win No Fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).

This means you pay nothing if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, your opponent will usually cover most of your legal costs, and a success fee will be deducted from your compensation.

We share the risk with you, meaning you only pay if your claim is successful. We will explain all funding options, your chances of success and how to maximise your compensation before you decide whether to proceed.
