Personal Injury Offer

[SteveG100]

I was hit from behind while stationary at lights and had a very simple medical assessment a couple of month after the accident which said upper neck and shoulder whiplash which would be expected to fully recover in 5 months. As I didn't have legal cover I dealt directly with the other party's claim handler who originally offered £1750 which they've upped to £1850 as a final offer for pain and suffering aspect.
Is this a reasonable offer and what would the likely increase/costs be if I were to employ a no win no fee solicitor rather than dealing with this myself?

according to "google" they have/were reforming the laws april this year, to mean you cannot claim for 5k or less ("to stop all the whiplash claims... (paraphrasing)" (i don't know how accurate this is.).

"2018 - The average payout for whiplash is currently £1,850. The payout for a whiplash injury will depend on the severity of the injury. for minor whiplash injuries, which is defined as when recovery is made within the first year of the accident, the average payout is between £1,000 and £2,500".

so basically; if the law has infact passed; if you instructed a no win no fee, for 5k, it would no doubt be thrown out anyway as seeking over compensation; the offer seems fair though due to your suggested recovery times vs. compensation precedents.

kind regards.
