The government has changed the procedure of handling road traffic accident claims in May 2021. The change in the calculation of whiplash claims is one of them. Now, the compensation for whiplash depends on how long your injury lasts.
Other significant changes include:
- The small claims limit for road traffic accident injuries increased from £1,000 to £5,000.
- Some minor injuries, such as simple fractures or soft tissue injuries, are now typically treated as small claims.
The rules do not apply in cases where the worth of your claim exceeds 5000 and the cases where you are a vulnerable road user (pedestrian or cyclist).
