Whiplash Claim Compensation Case Study

Whiplash Injury and a Write-off caused by a Rear End Shunt

Needing to make a right turn, the claimant checked her mirror and saw no other vehicles behind her, indicated and stopped. As she was waiting to make her turn a car collided into her from behind, shunting the claimant's car.

Recover Compensation began a car accident compensation claim.

The claimant sustained whiplash causing problems with her shoulder. The claimant had to take a week off work. She also suffered flashbacks which caused disturbed sleep and tiredness and made her reluctant to drive near to where the accident took place.

The driver of the car who had caused the accident was reluctant to involve the insurers as she was not named on the insurance policy. However, the claimant was awarded £2000 in injury compensation for her whiplash and shoulder injury. Recover Compensation also recovered the lost wages that the claimant would have normally received and recovered car hire charges. The claimant's car was written off so she had to hire a car whilst purchasing a replacement car.

Workplace Accident Compensation Claim

Have you had an accident at work?

Whilst you are at work, you are under the care of your employer who has a duty to provide you with a safe place of work, a safe system of work and safe work equipment. Therefore your employer should provide you with proper training for the job you are doing, adequate and safe work equipment, a safe way of doing your job and with colleagues that are competent at doing their job.

If your employers neglect their duty towards you, and you have a workplace accident as a result of their negligence, you are entitled to make a work injury claim against your employer's insurance policy for compensation for your injuries. For example, your accident may be caused by inadequate or defective work equipment or by a lack of training.

Workplace Accident Case Study:
The claimant was working as a printer in an area with ten printers, some of which had mats in front of them. The floor underneath the mats was grey-painted concrete and it's understood that the mats were to protect the paint from wear, tear and spillages. The claimant had turned to put some printed paper on a table behind him. As he was turning back to the machine to reload it, he caught his foot in the matting causing his foot and knee to remain still while he continued to turn. As a consequence the claimant dislocated his knee.
