Compensation Claims

The UK newspapers (The Independent, for example) have recently been discussing the Government’s plans to reform the country’s injury claim system, in order to make suing for whiplash injuries much harder.

It is thought that phoney whiplash claims are largely responsible for the ever-increasing cost of insurance premiums. The average policy has shot up by around £90 in the last 12 months and if this upward trend continues, those with lower incomes could be left with no choice but to give up their vehicles.

We believe the increased number of whiplash claims being filed is a result of more people realising they can get the recompense they deserve, and not dishonesty. It is concerning that those actually entitled to compensation might be discouraged from making a claim in the future.

We’d like to know what you think and in exchange for less than five minutes of your time, CompensationClaims.net is offering you the chance to win a new Apple iPad (16GB Wi-Fi model). 

To enter, please click here, answer the survey and enter a valid email address at the end. You can answer our survey without entering an email address, though you will not be eligible to win the prize.

The survey closes on 31 July 2012 and the winner will be announced on this blog.

We will of course also reveal the results of the survey – watch this space!
