So my solicitors suggested

[Amnesty]

On my non fault claim, that I attend a medical review as they think I have whiplash as I said i had a sharp but short lasting pain in my neck, soon as I said it, they jumped straight to it, and checking out my bruising ( that's gone )


I don't want to be greedy or 'milk' this claim, but they're insisting on it.
they were so pushy to try and recover what i've lost ( plus more )

Should I just go along with what they suggest/say or what?

Up to you tbh.

Only you know how much pain you are in and they can't prove you're in more or less than you say you are.

The reason they are pushing you is that they get a "success fee" which is worked out as a percentage of what they get you as compensation. So more injury means more compensation, thus more success fee.

For arguments sake, solicitors sucess fee is 10%.

you get awarded £1000 compensation.

10% success fee: £100.

Other side pays out £1100 and the sols keep £100. the other side pays this fee.

Also all the costs of private doctors etc are all inflated to make money too.

No detriment to you really, but its up to you if you don't want to milk it.

you will get a few grand compensation and they would get more money too thats why they are pushing you . they might try to make you say its affecting your sex life and that it still hurts ect to get more money

The more you get, the more they get! Seems like they're trying to maximise your compensation which is their job at the end of the day. I'd follow their advice.

What do you think inside your own head? You know how it's affected you, do you deserve a pay out? Bear in mind the protagonist won't pay it directly out of his own pocket. If you think it's deserved then go for it, but don't start a whinging thread about insurance going up every year later on.
You know what happened, you know if what the solicitors are asking you to do is justified, just go with your own morality and not with what other people think or if it's been justified by a million other claims. You end up paying for it in the end, that's the system.

Bunch of shysters. Don't take our money and put it in to their pockets: sort it out.

Well thanks for the input guys, For the fact they're even handling my claim they've got me to goto a medical review thing, so I've got till then to just sort it out in my own head.

Whiplash can be painfull not just now but for a long time. Keep that in mind. Be honest in the assesment, and be honest with your solicitor and you'll be awarded what you deserve. As said, £5k just in time for xmas would be nice, no doubt.
