Am I Entitled To Make A Claim?

  • You can claim compensation if the accident wasn’t your fault. This includes accidents involving another car, a motorcyclist, a cyclist, or a pedestrian.
  • Even if you were partly to blame, you may still be able to claim. In certain situations, you can claim compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident.
  • You don’t have to be the driver to make a claim. Passengers or people travelling in a vehicle (such as a taxi or bus) can also make a compensation claim.
  • Claims can be made for accidents caused by poor road conditions. If hazardous road conditions contributed to the accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
  • Compensation amounts depend on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. The more serious the injury, the higher the potential compensation.
  • The general time limit for making a car accident claim is three years. You typically have three years from the date of the accident to start your claim.

What are Whiplash Injuries?

Whiplash injuries are a common type of injury suffered during road traffic accidents. These are commonly known as back, neck and shoulder pains. Whiplash occurs when there is a sudden displacement of the body due to the jolting of the vehicle upon impact. Whiplash can cause pain, tenderness, stiffness and restricted movement of the neck. The symptoms can also extend to headaches, dizziness and pains in your arms and back. In some cases of chronic (severe) whiplash, it can take up to 12 months for the injured person to recover. However, this prognosis period can be a lot longer for some people, especially for those where the accident impact was more severe.
