i know that i ddin't claim for my big accident, but i know it was life thretening enough to have put me in a morgue

don't know the in's and out's of it, but, at the time, it was a HUGE ammount of money to get when i was only 17

given the choice, i'd rather have had my life than the money

broke my wrist and was out of action for 3 months unable to drive then another 4 months before i was ok again, plus the long term damage i got £8500 for

and the other one was a rear end shunt where i got the total ammount of £1200 for injury and the car

compare that to my dad who, many moons ago, lost the tip of his little finger and got paid 32 weeks worth of sick to recover and £4500 and it's a bit of pot luck what you can claim for and what you get
