Me and my family were in a car accident that was not our fault, can we claim compensation for whiplash personal injuries?
We were all going to the shops so my partner backed her car out of the front garden, we were fully out onto the road making sure kids had seat belts on safely before driving forward and then he banged into our rear side hard.
The man across the street backed his van out and hit her car, he has admitted liability he said its his fault and apologised and we swapped insurance details.
We have been told this more like a 50/50 fault road traffic accident but he admits he never seen us when he crashed into the back of our car, this incident happened a few days ago and now my back an neck is stiff and sore, I made an appointment with my GP and the doctor told me I have severe whiplash to my spine and my family could have been injured too.
What do i do now? I was given a 3 week prognosis and will have to miss work.
Can me and my family claim compensation from the other parties insurance for personal injuries and loss of earnings?
