in december i was a passenger in my fiancee's car when we were hit from behind. We both have claims in but was wondering how much a passenger is likely to get on a pay out?

Cheers

 

come on some 1 here must have had a claim at 1 point

 

depends if you really had whiplash?

if you did have it,,, a couple of grand,,,,,

if you didnt,,,, your a twat

 

the car that hit us was doing bout 40mph and we were not moving so u do the math i had to miss 3 weeks at work for the first time in 6 years. last year i was in a head on crash and walked away with out a scratch on me and did not claim for anything im not a piss taker . so no im not a twat.

 

well you have every right to claim then

 

i got about Ł1400 a few years ago, was checked out by the docs and accepted the first thing they offered me.

wish i had held out for more now as i still suffer from a bad neck and i often trap a nerve etc.

although it could party be due to playing american football too as you quite often clash heads in that lol

i should really go see a chiropractor (sp) as something deffo aint right

 

My colleuge got Ł4000 for the smae type of incident you mention as full and final settlement

That came 9 Weeks after his accident and that was in Jan of this year

Nige

 

100% varies on the circomstances and your solicitor, some ppl get and accept 1k but usually its around the 2k mark as a figure.

Mine started off at 2500, then 7500, then got settled this year for alot more than that

 

my mrs got Ł4500 as she got hit at set lights by a pi$$ed twat who then done a runner got caught though

 

nice cant wait for mine lol. GT4 here i come.

 

I got Ł1000 when i had my accident a year or so ago which i thought was pretty poor!!!

Think they only offered me a little amount because i was only 15 at the time...

 

When I used to work for an insurance company the usual pay out for whiplash was around 2500-3500 give or take.

 

My missus got Ł1500 for her whiplash injury, I feel it's a joke as she was genuinely hurt and still suffers now with effects from it yet some piss takers who are just out to make a quick buck get twice that

 

Got hit by a van from the rear in my mates 2 week old A4 Cabriolet I didnt accept the first offer of Ł500 as it was a pisstake, but after months of fucking about i just took it.

Im currently claiming for the accident a had in january, my soilicitor is aiming for between Ł1600 and Ł1900 but we havnt had a firm offer in reply yet.

 

I would put in a claim for the amount of money you would have earned during your period off work, if you got sick pay during that time then i wouldnt claim at all. Were all car enthusiasts here and weve all made mistakes, dont make someone elses premium soar due to your bullshit claim.

 

True but then when moneys involved it shuts off ppls morals these days!!

Sure thats not the case here thou!

I was off work 2yrs from mine and had 2 re-train for 9months b4 i got my current job. Finally after 4yrs i got a settlement which covered 2yrs loss of earning plus the whiplash claim! Still have probs with my neck thou but have learnt to live with it

 

Not always the case, i do disagree with claiming just for the money, i'm still having physio on my back!

 

I got hit from behind in feb at about 40-50mph and still feel problems with my neck and lower back. I had a week of work and had to return as I was not in the job that long. Claim is ongoing.

 

Think Helen either got 4-5k suppose it depends on the circumstances .....

But she is still suffering now and having to pay for her own private treatment.

 

Yea same here Althou ive got health insurance which covers upto so much so dont usually go over that amount which is lucky!!
