Could accident claims solicitors covering Lytham St Annes assist with claims under the Whiplash Reforms Programme?

If you’re searching for personal injury solicitors covering Lytham St Annes because you have a low value injury claim from a road traffic accident, you might be worried. You might have heard about the introduction of reforms to how whiplash injuries of this type are processed. The Whiplash Reforms Programme was brought in from May 2021, and means that low value injury claims from RTAs are compensated in a different way. Now, these low value soft tissue injury claims must go through the government’s portal. No longer can claims be settled without medical evidence either. In addition to this, there’s no way for the claimant to get legal costs from the defendant. Such claims are calculated based on how long the injured party has suffered with their injury. This is measured under a new tariff that has been put in place.

You may be worried that solicitors wouldn’t be able to help you claim. However, this may not be the case. To check whether the whiplash reforms could affect your case, why not give our team a call.
