    Did you go to hospital or seek medical help at the time? Can you prove you hurt your back in the accident? What have you got to back your claim up?

    No win no fee firms don't take you on unless they think you will win!

    Your "so what" comment is very hard. Are you a physio?


    No, just going by what the OP said, 'took some painkillers and thought nothing more of it'
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    The OP went on to say this went on for "a few weeks" before he was back to normal!

    Yes, I saw that.

    But he hasnt come back and said whether he went to hospital or doctors so he actually has some proof of his injuries.
    If not, then it's game over.

    As posted, his legal team won't take it on unless they are confident the game is winnable!

    money doesnt make things better, unless he took time off work their isnt a loss.
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Minds me of the Cigar Collector who claimed that the cigars he craved were destroyed in a series of small fires. The insurers had to pay out, then sued the person who smoked them to recover thier costs.

    Money certainly makes you feel a bit better about the incident you were injured in if it's compensation for pain/discomfort etc caused to an entirely innocent!

    Just out of interest, would you be making an injury claim if it was you who had been driving and the accident was your own fault?

    Would you make a claim if you tripped at home, maybe your wife caused you to trip somehow, and you had a sore back for a while?

    Why do you think claiming some cash will help your back (which you say is ok)?

    There shouldn't be monetary claims for this type of thing. The most anyone should get in circumstances such as this is an offer of physio.
