Just had an accident

Mate if your back is that bad staight away i'd consider getting it checked, especially if its not getting better in the next few days. Whiplash will be much worse the day after the accident - you know like when you exercise and it kills the day after.
Hope the cars fine and you get it all sorted.

Definately worth getting your back looked at. Exactly the same just happened to my girlfriend and it looks like she's going to get a pay out from the idiot who can't drives insurance company.

Cheers for the replies guys.

Have booked an appt for Friday (earliest time I can get off work), so I'll see then.

It's not so bad in the morning but I can even feel it getting worse now. I would rather have no claim and my back to be ok - now I can't play golf, go to the gym or ride my mountain bike for a few weeks

Ah well!

Just go to A&E for a check up. It will then be on record that you went to hospital. They will prescribe you with some powerful painkillers to ease the pain. Then you can go to your GP when it's easy for you. You need to get medical attention asap!

It's what I did when my Fiesta Si was written off by a knob driving into the back of me at 40mph when I was stationary. Needed an ambulance to get to hospital as I was in loads of pain.

Deffo get to doctors,also get motor in to garage for a full check up,don't worry about time off from work all claimable.I'd rather have a week off now than a wheel-chair later on in life!!!I got screwed a couple of years ago after rear ending some body who locked all 4 wheels up braking for junction,nudged him at less than 10Mph.He claimed for loss of earnings,trauma ,£960 repairs to a shed of a rover 600,passenger claimed he couldn't fly a kite for 2 weeks.WTF!!!
Total Bill £8750
DO IT TO THEM BEFORE THEY GET THE BALL ROLLING.It'll be worth it.

Anyone think i can claim for shock.....lol

 

[JimyFloyd]

Well I've booked appt for GP on Friday, I simply don't have the time/inclination to sit at A&E for 3/4 hours!

Ball is rolling my end, and hoping to get the car in a garage this saturday. Would rather not take time off work as I have only just started this job - won't look too good!

 

[chrisbond69]

what would your boss rather happen couple of hours off now or weeks off for physio etc later on if it gets to that? "tankdoctor" seen same thing in town someone just nudged someone at trafic lights litterally 2-3 mph wouldnt have even felt it as other car was rollingand both passengers wouldnt move got ambulance to get them out, why our insurance is so damn high, i was a passenger in car crash 2 years ago suffered whiplash decided not to claim big mistake.

had a bad one last night too matey

 

[Essex_Cupra]

Go to A&E to check out your neck and the next day book an appointment with your doctor so its all on record. I think the minimum pay out for whiplash has been increased to £1500. So i wouldn't be to bothered!

I was a passenger in my mates Ka and an artic lorry hit the back of us didn't even know we was there because we was low down he couldn't see us! So he just kept pushing us down the road for about 50metres! lol

I didn't claim big mistake also!

 

[JimyFloyd]

All documented with the GP now, I'm getting these really annoying twinges in my buttocks (forest gump style!).

I'll wait and see what happens from here - I just wanna really get bacak to the gym in training for the summer - might take up swimming!

 

[davels]

my necks killing me after mine but back dosen't seem to bad just the occasional twinge from my ar*e as you say

 

[gavthelad]
