What is whiplash?
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck, caused by sudden, forceful movement — typically from being rear-ended in a car accident.
Symptoms include:
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Reduced range of motion
- Shoulder or back pain
- Headaches or dizziness
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
In many cases, symptoms take hours or even days to appear — and can last for weeks or months. In more serious cases, chronic whiplash may require physiotherapy, medication, or extended time off work.
Can you still claim for whiplash in Scotland?
Yes — you can still claim for whiplash in Scotland. Unlike the new rules in England and Wales (which limit payouts for minor whiplash), Scottish law still allows you to claim fair compensation based on the severity of your injury.
We act on behalf of clients across Scotland, including:
- Drivers hit from behind
- Passengers in taxis or private cars
- Pedestrians involved in vehicle collisions
- Cyclists struck by negligent drivers

How much compensation can you get for whiplash?

- How long symptoms last
- Time off work or income lost

- Emotional impact and pain
In Scotland, typical whiplash compensation ranges from £1,000 to over £10,000, depending on how long your symptoms last and how much they affect your day-to-day life.

After getting emergency medical attention, gather evidence (if safe to do so) such as photos of the scene, driver details, and witness contacts. Report the accident to police and speak to a solicitor who specialises in motorbike injury claims. Our team can guide you from the very start.
Yes. Even if you were partially responsible, you may still be eligible for compensation. This is known as split liability. While the amount may be adjusted based on your level of responsibility, it’s still worth pursuing a claim to cover your recovery, expenses, and any other impacts from the accident.
Compensation varies depending on the severity and long-term impact of your injuries. You may claim for medical costs, lost income, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and home adaptations.
Absolutely. Motorbike accidents often involve unique mechanics of injury, speed-related trauma, and rider vulnerability. Specialist solicitors understand these cases deeply and can secure better outcomes than general personal injury firms.
You usually have 3 years from the date of the accident to begin your claim. If you’re claiming on behalf of someone with reduced capacity or a child, different time limits apply. Contact us for tailored advice.
