Whiplash injury compensation amounts
When pursuing a compensation claim for a whiplash injury there are several factors that are taken into account to determine the amount of compensation to which you are entitled.

Severe
Whiplash injury associated with incomplete paraplegia or resulting in permanent spastic quadriparesis or where the injured party, despite wearing a collar 24 hours a day for a period of years, still has little or no movement in the neck and suffers severe headaches - in the region of £82,000.

Injuries which give rise to disabilities which are not as severe as those described above but which are of considerable severity such as, permanent damage to the brachial plexus - £36,000 to £71,500.

Severe damage to soft tissues and/or ruptured tendons, resulting in significant, enduring disability. Precise award is determined by length of time during which the most serious symptoms lessen, and on prognosis - in the region of £30,000.

Fractures or dislocations which cause severe immediate symptoms and which may necessitate spinal fusion. Impaired function or vulnerability to further trauma, and some limitation of activities - £13,500 to £18,000.

Moderate
Whiplash injury or wrenching-type injury and disc lesion of the more severe type, resulting in cervical spondylosis, serious limitation of movement, permanent or recurring pain, stiffness or discomfort and the possible need for further surgery or increased vulnerability to further trauma - £7,500 to £13,750.

Injuries which may have worsened some pre-existing, unrelated condition. There will have been a complete recovery or recovery to nuisance' level from the effects of the accident within a few years. This compensation bracket also applies to moderate whiplash injuries where the period of recovery has been fairly protracted and where there remains an increased vulnerability to further trauma - £4,250 to £7,750.

Minor
Minor soft tissue and whiplash injuries where symptoms are moderate:

And a full recovery takes place within about two years - £2,500 to £4,250.

With a full recovery between a few weeks and a year - £750 to £2,500.
