Has anyone been involved in a car crash and claimed compensation for having whiplash?

Genuine claim and Not fraudulent.
How much compensation have you recieved?

Answers:
yes , i also jammed a fingerm and it was the other guys fault, he ran a stop sign, but i ligitamately was in some agonizing pain from whiplash, Farm Bureau was his ins. co. and they immediately paid all my Dr. bills, paid for my car, and appr. 12000 dollars in pain and suffering. this was about 4 months ago, and neither vehicle involved was totalled
yes and not much
yeah, both hubby and i were involved in an rta and we got about six and half grand between us
Yes twice, both times the cars ran into the back of me, the compo is ok at the time, but when you still have to pay for an osteopath 10 years later with repeated weakness in the neck it's nowhere near enough.
Golly! Who would do such a thing?
Almost everyone who has had a prang, but good luck to them.
You don't get anything monetary! Whiplash is a soft tissue injury and insurance companies will not pay on those claims. There might be a state or two that it could happen but the insurance industry is clamping down hard on frivilous lawsuits and people claiming whiplash. You have to have a "serious injury" these days to collect any compensation. Sorry, the candy store closed!
Can you believe that someone sued for injuries for $6500? Is that pathetic or what? Not "someone" but two people settled for that!
This is the root cause of why people who DO receive a serious injury get the shaft!
yes ring a claim line and listen very carefuly do wot they say and when you win buy me a drink. it may take up to three months.
