Car accident litigation may follow Dorset collision

A 32-year-old man from Dorset is considering launching a whiplash claim after suffering the neck injury in a rear-end collision with an "angry driver" in what he describes as a car accident that was a "master class in impatience".

The graphic designer had been at the exit junction of a busy car park when a driver in a Land Rover behind beeped at him several times, despite the road ahead still not being clear.

Soon the 32-year-old was free to leave, so he turned left only to be halted by a red light. At this point, he says, he was "shocked" to see in his rear vision mirror the same Land Rover accelerating towards his stationary vehicle.

"It was madness… It was like he couldn't see me," says the man behind the potential whiplash claim.

And matters hardly improved when the two drivers went to exchange insurance details. The claimant alleges that the four-wheel drive driver greeted him with a string of obscenities.

The Dorset resident says that he has suffered neck pain since the incident and may now make a whiplash claim for his car crash injury.
