Hi I was in a hit and run car accident in September and have whiplash that is still very bad and I am at phsyio and on pain killers and sleeping tablets because of the pain.
The road traffic accident was not my fault, I was waiting at a red light at the zebra crossing when a speeding car rear ended me.
The force of the collision was so hard I was thrown back and forth and sprained by back, I was in so much pain I could not move and had to phone an ambulance to take me to hospital.
The other party did not stop, they speeded away in their vehicle, I have made a report to the police and they say the car was stolen.
In a&e the doctor told me I had slipped discs which amounted to nerve damage and said I would be injured for months, I have been off work for months on SSP, I want to claim back my wages as loss of earnings.
The police have not yet caught or prosecuted the liable driver for grand theft auto, can I still claim compensation for my personal injury if the other driver has not been caught?
