I was hurt in a car accident that was not my fault and would like to claim compensation.
Can you claim if you are a passenger in a car accident?
I was in the car with my partner and we were driving home when he went into the back of another car in front because the other driver had slammed on his breaks too quickly to let another car out of a street, which was bad driving.
My boyfriend did not have time to react and could not pull his brakes in time to stop and rear ended the other vehicle.
He got out and apologised for bumping into him and admitted liability, they swapped insurance details and I took down the car registration plate number after the accident.
I badly hurt my back in the accident and have since been in pain, I am not sure if I was in the liable car but I would still like to make a claim.
I went to the doctors and he told me I had whiplash and to take a few weeks off work.
Can I claim compensation for whiplash as the passenger in a road traffic accident?
