Now if they feel the crash wasn't hard enough to claim whiplash you can be taken to court and rejected. I am going to court soon because I stalled and altough I had my handbrake on I tapped the car infront. And he is claiming longterm back neck and shoulder injuries. I have to go to court to tell them my side of the story and they will decide wether he's bullshitting I suppose. He clearly is and my insurance have to prove it.
P.S Not that I'm saying yours is mate.
