Whiplash & car accident injury compensation claims increasing despite car accidents actually falling in UK

The Accident Claim Company in England UK commented recently on the latest report by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries which stated that the number of car accident claims for whiplash is on the rise even though car accidents are falling.

Ian Bedford, Chief Executive of The Accident Claim Company which is a specialized accident claims management company said: ”It’s undeniable that Whiplash claims have gone up in England & Wales, much speculation for that rise is about the media saying there is a compensation culture. In actual fact people have become more aware of their rights and in previous times before the web, social media and 24/7 news people never understood that they can claim; whereas today with all the advertising sharing of information and claims branding around, people have become far more aware of what they are entitled to and are now exercising their right to claim.”

In another recent report only last month by the Financial Times, it stated it that Liverpool was the “whiplash capital” for car accident claims. It has also become apparent upon closer scrutiny of that fact that in the areas that have most claims also have the highest number of claims companies and whiplash solicitors advertising their services.Accident Claim Companies and solicitors advertising their no win no fee car accident claims help lines have often been the scourge of negative comments from the press and some members of the public like “ambulance chasing lawyers” and the media are often surmising that litigation in the UK is getting out of control and is far worse than in the US.

Whatever the rights or wrongs of claiming compensation and your view point, people are now exercising their legal right to do so.Un-genuine claims may be a problem, but the Accident Claim Company only accept genuine claims for Whiplash and car accidents and does all it can do to eliminate any suspect or bogus claims including detailed questioning of the bodily injury. The company’s professional and ethical approach to claims management which includes never using shady text spam or cold calling methods has meant that the company has built up a solid reputation for first class professional service judging by the many positive reviews on the internet about the company.

The Accident Claim Company, which recently added its 24/7 car accident compensation claims helpline welcomes government proposals on new legislation that is aimed to ensure that injury claimants are to be properly checked over by specialists doctors before a claim can be made; under the same plans by Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke in the “Whiplash summit”, solicitors will also be banned form offering no win no fee claims.
