Filing Whiplash Claims In The UK

My friend in the UK was in a car crash and while she though she was unharmed, she started having some neck pain after she got home that night. I did a little research to help her out and found a site called 1stClaims.co.uk that had a guide to Whiplash. It turns out that it's common for people to suffer from whiplash after even a small auto accident. While most cars have headrests, most of us do not lean back the small amount needed to have the rest support our head. In a sudden accident, our head can be moved back violently, and then sometimes back forward again, while our body is held in place by our seatbelt. Of course, this all depends on what direction we are hit from and how hard.

The site also says that whiplash may not be felt right away, but sometimes even a day later. With all the stress and confusion, it's easy to understand how someone may not notice it. Since my friend will have to see a doctor, I sent her the link to the 1stClaims.co.uk site where she can learn how to file her whiplash claims. I recommended she do this because they say you can keep 100% of your compensation, there are no costs if the claim is not won, and since 1stClaims.co.uk serves all of the UK, they should be large enough to take care of her claim in a professional manner.
