Fuck you for pushing up everyone's insurance premiums.


Claiming for imaginary "whiplash" is the very summit of selfishness.

Pansies milking a little bump for everything it's worth.

I feel a small claim for an "injury" is no more than making up for...1 insurance excess..2 shortfall in pay out v's new bike purchase (if write off)
and..3 higher premiums in the following years.

All of the above apply regardless of fault. So someone knocks you off and you lose the hell out. Put in a little claim to redress the balance.

If people could fucking actually drive/ride properly it wouldn't be a problem. I've been hit twice whilst stationary by car drivers and the first time didn't claim for whiplash despite having back problems since that crash. The last time I was hit even harder and pushed into a very busy roundabout which left me in more pain for almost 6 months. Did I claim? Dam fucking right I did!!! As for premiums going up they always will same as everything else.
On a lighter note, im off to florida next month courtesy of tescos insurance. Laughing

Oooh, well hark who's a big keyboard warrior with a few Malibu cocktails in them.

Yes, you should only claim for actual injuries, but you should claim against the guilty party for every penny of loss or injury, and injuries can last a lifetime. Whether they're insured or not shouldn't enter into it. You bend it, you mend it.

When you can't sleep from the chronic pain of an injury caused by someone else's incompetence then let's see how tough you talk, big man. Can you put a price on a lifetime of pain? Experience it before making your estimate.

Seriously Wtf?

Are people retarded or something. Someone seriously needs to point out to me how others can just jump to conclusions.

Nb said that he was hit and pushed into a roundabout.

If you are hit by another driver and you are not at fault, then THE OTHER DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY pays out for you. You don't lose your no claims.

You may lose no claims if it is not a 100% third party liability, in which case the third party will also be claiming off your insurance for their damages, so you both lose your NCD

Anyhoos, as for the whiplash argument. I think you should stop being ridiculous. You are driven into by some mug. You make a claim for every penny that you are owed.

Besides, Insurance companies rape us anyway.

Besides, if you think its the whiplash claims which are pushing your insurance up, think again. You forgot about the uninsured drivers on the roads, and the multi-million accident-staging scams and fraud rings. Those are what push premiums up. Not so much poor Joe bloggs with a sore neck

In 2009 for every £100 taken in premiums, £123 was being paid out in claims.

Interesting.

Especially with a thread title something along the lines of 'Calling out all you ****holes who claim for whiplash'.

I'd have thought Florida is quite nice this time of year.

I think the compensation culture is everything that's wrong with our insurance system. It's amazing how instances of whiplash have rocketed over the last few years despite the fact that cars have become safer and many are fitted with anti-whiplash devices.

Many see "whiplash" as a meal ticket and claim for it regardless of whether they actually have it. This takes away from people who actually are injured or actually are affected by whiplash injuries.

I had a car crash a couple of years back and actually suffered minor whiplash afterwards. In that I had a neckache for a couple of days. It was uncomfortable and I had trouble sleeping for a bit, but never did I think "oh good, that's a couple of grand." Until then I didn''t really believe in whiplash. But at my level of injury it wasn't devastating.

Months later I was plagued by ambulance chasers asking me if I was "quite sure" that I hadn't been injured and to think carefully, because I could claim for even the slightest twinge of pain. Is this really how it is? Add that to the "crash for cash" crowd who make fortunes forcing others to crash into them then having whiplash injuries dozens of times, and it's plain that something's wrong with the system. We're paying through the nose for this.

Bikers are a bit different, you're more exposed, more likely to be injured and wearing a helmet creates a lot of extra strain on your neck.

Personally, I think whiplash should be excluded from injury claims unless it is determined to be at a serious level. That way, those who are really injured will get the care and compensation they need, and those who just fancy a bit of cash for the hell of it can forget it.

When I got knocked off my bike in 2007 I was given a couple of thousand in compensation (being 16 and not really understanding anything that was happening or being said to me). Turns out what was called whiplash at the time is actually permanent muscle damage which still causes severe pain 4 years down the line, and the temporary knee injury still stops me walking more than a few miles at a time.

"whiplash" is a bastard.

shut up you plebs, insurance is there to be used.

I remember a few years ago I accidently tripped up on purpose and hurt my knee, stupid bitch in a wheelchair should have been wearing a high-vis jacket and had a horn to warn folk of her presence.
My claim is still going through but i intend to take the cow for every penny she has.

Ambulance chasers.... iv had all sorts of calls from those no win no fee bell boys, telling me 2 years on its possible to have small pains in the neck and shoulders due to a crash I had when I was not at fault. Told them to get stuffed and told them that if it wasn't for their types my insurance would be a hell of a lot cheaper.

They even contacted me and tried the same thing on with an accident that was MY fault, in the end i told them in no polite way to go f*ck themselves

I've had that bacon, someone bumped into the back of me while learning to drive, had numerous people ringing me up telling me I'm entitled to compensation..

The van driver wasn't paying attention but i wasn't going to claim when there wasn't any pain.. especially as any pain would have more likely come from mma Evil or Very Mad
