is there any form of injury claim if somebody hit car while parked in parking bay?
I was with my wife and daughter and I had just parked up in a multi story car park in the city centre when another driver, looking for a space to park him self, he was driving quickly and must have thought our spot was free, our car is much smaller than the others so it was probably hidden and looked like an empty slot.
He must have been in a rush, he flew into the back of us at speed and obviously didn't make sure he could fit in place, his car rear ended mine at speed and he got out, apologised and admitted he was at fault, we swapped insurance details on our vehicles, then I had to go the hospital with my wife. Me and my son were fine but there was back strain to my wife, her neck was stiff and in pain and she her lower spine was in agony, the doctors said she had whiplash, can I claim compensation for her injuries and also my car was damaged, the bumper cracked, the back is dinted and my licence plate is smashed, will I be ale to get some money paid out for the repairs to my car too?
Can CCTV footage of accident tell the severity of whiplash?
