First of all for a normal whiplash your looking around at about £1000+ but from the sound of your accident your bound to get a lot more. Phone up the claim people and only take on accident claim company's that give no win no fee promise. Most of these companies don't take cut off your compensation either as they get paid from 3rd party. Your entitled to that compensation, its not like your claiming a fraud or anything. So don't feel guilty. Oh you should also talk to car insurance company too, they would either replace / repair / or pay off your car depending on the damage. Hiya sounds like a pretty big accident.

That's what those behind might claim. You need expert advice but not from the many ambulance chasers out there.

Sometimes the insurers own doctor will also check the person out. Doctors have to be certain before they diagnose any kind of injury as they could lose their G.M.C. licence if they were to sign a statement saying that someone is injured when they aren't. No doctor would risk that. Trust me. Insurance is a competitive industry and all insurers are doing their best to keep costs as low as possible. Every claim they receive is scrutinised in fine detail, and they would not pay out unless they absolutely have to. They would have plenty of supporting evidence if there was an injury, and if they were to accuse someone of faking an injury when they have such evidence, signed by doctors, the insurer could be sued, or even lose their trading licence. As for the insurer coming to inspect your car, they do that with all accident claims, whether it be at the garage carrying out the repairs or at the home address. They are just looking for supporting evidence again, and being thorough. The bottom line is, if she isn't injured, she wont get the evidence to support her case and wont be paid out. If she is injured, she is entitled to claim, just as you or anyone else would be if you were injured. It is up to the insurer to decide whether they pay out, and is not something that you can influence in any way, so just sit back and relax and let them deal with it.

It should have been left to insurance companies to sort out. There was no need for a statement at the station as they should have contacted the attending officer first. Not sure what they were playing at and certainly wouldn't worry about it as it will never go to court. They (insurance company) will be coming to look at your car to see if there is any damage to back up the other parties claim. They will also need hospital/doctor records from the other person as well as to stand any chance of a claim they would need to see a GP within the first 48 hours.

bottom line, what can she do…?
you can however have a giant smirk on your face when she fails at an attempt to get money (which i’m assuming is why she’s doing that)
