    how likely it is ill get what im asking for even backed up by independent orthopedic consultant. i always feel that people claiming whiplash are seen as fakers and never get near to what they ask for. because im 22 and the consultant said my problems are indefinate, its quite a large sum of money.

    Well, it depends on the level of care you need and whether the medical evidence justifies it. Last week I had a care claim from a person with a fractured toe who claimed he needed 12 hours of care a day...
