Earlier this year, Miss C, who wishes not to be named, was waiting at traffic lights when a car failed to stop and crashed into the back of her car. Immediately after the accident Miss C felt shaken up but was not suffering any undue pain.

It was not until the next day, when she woke up with crippling neck pain and muscle ache that Miss C realised something was seriously wrong. In immense pain, she contacted her doctor.

After visiting her doctor, Miss C was diagnosed with whiplash. Damage to her neck tissue was severe and she was advised to follow a lengthy course of physiotherapy. The treatment was expected to last between six and nine months.

Unable to work and with a lengthy and time consuming recovery ahead of her, Miss C decided that she needed to seek compensation. After contacting the driver responsible, she was offered £1350.

Determined that she deserved more compensation, Miss C decided to pursue her claim through an independent claims company.

With an expert legal team on her side, Miss C managed to fight for the compensation he deserved. After issuing court proceedings, the settlement was finally increased to £2400.

This case shows that you can get the compensation you deserve with the right legal team behind you. Making sure that you seek medical advise as soon as you start to feel unwell is also vital to your claim.
