Its the latest fashion, if someone hits you in there car, you hold your neck, roll around on the floor like they do in Football and come out of it with several thousand quid for Whiplash.

Easy money!!

Can't believe this is still ongoing mate?

Make sure you make it clear in no uncertain terms that all the blame lies at her door and that you take no responsibility whatsoever for anything that happened.

Stupid woman!

Just forward it on to your claims manager and stop whinging....

You did hit her didn't you, its obvious to anyone with a hole in there rs that thats what would happen.

Let them deal with it and stop worrying, thats why you pay for legal representation on your insurance.

Seeeing as the crash was her fault how the fuck can she claim

Not everybody claiming for whiplash injuries are pulling a fast one. After our 2i was written off my missus got a £1500 pay out for her neck injury and she is still having trouble with it now and the prang was almost 2 years ago

i had some guy crash into the REAR of me. for 2 and a half years i fought it as MY solicitors couldnt get it to go in my favour!!!

How does that happen???

I moved to a NONE INSURANCE appointed solicitor, 3 months later claim settled in my favour.

i will never use insurance appointed solicitors again

sad but true mate

Even if she hadnt thought of it (which you'll never know) there would be enough of her "mates" telling her to, but more likely the solicitors themselves, cos they will still earn £50 a letter etc off it just to process it , and they all at it so it goes round and round and they all make money in the end , why do u think insurance so expensive, aint cos of the cost of repairing the cars etc alone

erm... its very very very rare to get whiplash from a side on collision. infact whiplast from a rear end shunt is highly unlikey. people just assume cos theyre got a sore neck from the jolt that its whiplash... but i could try and find some stuff to say that due to the angle of impact and speed of collision the chances of her actually having whiplash are zilch. i know she will claim anyway but u could always point it out.

did u know that since the whole american claiming whiplash thing came out the rate of whiplash cases claimed in accidents has increased 300%...

and in eastern europe there isnt even a word for whiplash

and infact its not a medically recognised condition as such, its WAD, whiplash associated disorder...

all it is is when u have a fast impact on a car or whatever, because there is nothing stopping you from ur head going back if ur headrest isnt fitted right, then its down to ur ligaments, tendons and muscles etc to hold it so they get stretched.. but u dont know u have whiplash till hours, or days after... from the side or the front u have the restriction of ur chin on chest or ear on shoulder...

fucking annoying i hit someone once and didnt even dent my car and 6 months later they had made a claim through one of those silly tv ad programmes that promote claiming with their own doctors who will say u have whiplash, regardless of the fact u cant diagnose it that late after... its all bollocks they claimed £12,000 between 2 of them...

fair do's people say its the done thing and its ur kind of compensation for a shunt.. its bollocks... if ur fine then count ur lucky stars...

sorry to hear it hun, rant over

katie xx
