Letter: What a time to act on whiplash injury!
It seems ironic to me that just as I have my first car accident (not my fault) and suffer genuine, agonising whiplash,

David Cameron has a conference, to discuss the extortionate cost of car insurance.
I am in no doubt that there is a blossoming business in “ambulance chasing” by solicitors and lawyers, on behalf of unscrupulous claimants. I also understand that this pushes up premuims for long suffering motorists. However, I think it is wrong, that Cameron concentrates just on this aspect of car insurance and, as far as I understand, no mention of the burgeoning profits of the car insurance industry.
Certainly, in the last three years, regardless of this current accident and it coinciding with my “Renewal Notice”, I had seen my car insurance premiums double! I am currently paying a staggering £135.00 per month, even though the defendent, who hit my car, has admitted liability. I am told this amount will reduce, once my claim is settled. It seems to me, that the car insurers put all the risk on their long suffering customers!!
In the meantime, I will continue with my intense physiotherapy, persue a personal injuries claim and try and deal with the pain and upset of an accident that wasn’t my fault and that left me with a painful spasm in my neck, shoulders and arms and a chronic lack of confidence when I approach Armley Gyratory in the rush hour.

Most bodyshops have accident management which will take car of everything so you have no need to involve your own insurer. You are probably one of the suckers whom have rung their insurer and used their own approved repairerbodyshop when you have no need too
