whiplash claim, 2mph

[WCZ]

one of our engineers at work drove his vw caddy into the back of an audi A1 in crawling traffic.

did absolutely zero damage to either vehicle, took photos to prove it. you literally can't tell anything has happened.

tracker hows the engineer was traveling consistently at 0-3mph for 30 minutes around the time (stuck in heavy traffic)

injury claim of whiplash received...

engineer says the guy in the audi said he works in insurance, maybe he knows how to play the game...

I was in a similar situation about 2 years ago.

If you have the photos, telematics and any other evidence like a engineers report of 'damage' it may take a while but should get resolved.

My insurer told me that they normally don't fight whiplash claims as they usually lose, but in my case they did fight and after 18 months the other party withdrew the claim. I suspect they got a call from one of the 'where there's blame there's a claim' solicitors and thought they were in for a simple payday. Once they found out it involved making statements to investigators and appearing in court they decided it wasn't something they wanted to pursue after all.

I've submitted everything, insurer says it's unlikely they'll fight it because of the reasons you mentioned but we'll see...

extremely frustrating.

this isn't the first time this has happened but last time the speed was around 15mph and despite it being clearly a false claim it didn't bother me so much
