It has recently been reported that numbers are on the increase of people making
claims for personal injuries after a road traffic accident despite there being
a fall in the numbers of road traffic accidents.
A recent report from the Actuarial
Profession states that despite an 11% fall in the number of road accidents in
2011, personal injury claims have risen by 18%.
High petrol prices has resulted in fewer car journeys and this has been
given as the main reason for the 11% reduction in motor accidents in 2011.
As reported by the Actuaries, a greater
number of people involved in these accidents are making compensation claims for their injuries, the
most common being whiplash.
Personal Injury Solicitor, Mathew Bell at
Manchester Personal Injury law firm Swift Solicitors says “he has seen the
number of claims consistently rising over the last few years”.
There are several ways on how to claim for a compensation from sustaining an injury due to someone else's negligence. Some offer a service that is designed to make claiming for personal injuries as straightforward as possible such as no win no fee claims, this means, win or lose, a claimant won't have to pay for the solicitor's fee. The insurance will cover the expenses and other court fees. However, if the claim wins, a 100% compensation will be given to the claimant.
