How much compensation can I claim for Whiplash?
Whiplash is a very common injury for people involved in even minor car accidents to suffer from. The symptoms of whiplash often take time to develop after an accident and can take between 6 to 12 hours for the symptoms to become apparent.
Inflammation and bruising in the neck muscles won't usually be obvious at the time of the accident. The pain and stiffness is often worse on the day after the injury and pain may continue to get worse during the days after the accident.
Other symptoms can include lower back pain, numbness or pins and needles in arms and hands, muscle spasms, dizziness, tiredness or headaches. As with all injuries following a car accident, we strongly recommend that you seek advice from a medical professional to ensure that you receive the correct treatment, and recover as quickly as possible.
This type injury can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort often leading to long periods off work, with regular physiotherapy or drug treatments. It's not surprising then that many people choose to make injury claims to compensate for this.
How much compensation you receive will depend largely on he severity of your injury. Typically for a minor whiplash injury this could be as much as £500, or for moderate to severe whiplash it could be in excess of £25,000.

No need to claim on your insurance
Anyone who has been involved in a road accident has the right to choose who repairs their vehicle. If you were responsible for the accident you were involved in, the company that insures your vehicle would normally deal with your accident claim.
However if you were not at-fault for the accident, you can choose to either claim on your own insurance policy or make a claim independently of your insurer. To find out more call 02392 484 244 and we will be happy to help.

No excess to pay
Unfortunately even if an accident was not your fault, your insurer will almost certainly require you to pay your excess before any repair is started on your car.
This money should of course be recovered by an insurer at a later date, but with our service - you do not have to pay it at all.
By using our independent claims service, you are not making a claim on your insurance policy and so you will have no excess to pay.

Receive a comparable replacement hire vehicle
Not all insurance policies will include a replacement hire-car for you to use if yours is damaged and unroadworthy. In fact it is typically an 'optional extra' on your policy.
Other policies may offer a 'courtesy car' but this is often just a 'basic' saloon or hatchback which may not be suitable for your needs.
Car Call and its partners will provide a comparable replacement vehicle as part of our service. This means we will endeavour to supply a hire-vehicle that similar to your own in terms of its type, make and engine size.
So whether you drive a small hatchback or a prestige sports car, we will look to provide a similar hire-vehicle that suits your needs.
