i wouldnt be too hopefull

my ex was in a horiific car accident after being cut out of the car she ended up in hospital over night, bruises and back/neck pain

she couldnt work for a month, due to not being able to move properly, had to have weeks of physiotherapy (at her expense) and still suffers the occasional twitch and pain from her neck

she only got just under £3k and that was fighting the case for well over 18 months

they can be real tight on compensation claims nowadays, i'm not a lawyer, just thought i'd offer some experience with dealing with these things.
