Whip lash claim proceeding to court

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi
I was recently involved in a car accident on a round about, both myself and the other person involved have put in a claim for whip lash so I would just like too ask does anyone know how this can effect me in the following situations;
1. If liability is found too be on me, will I still receive the amount I have claimed for for personal injury from my own insurer?
2. If the liability is found too be 50/50 does this mean only half the claim will be paid out?
Thank you for any help and advice anybody can give me

1) No. Your insurer is not responsible for your own injury compensation.
2. Yes.0 -
If you are found at fault, you can't claim compensation for your injury.
If it's 50/50 then you'll be entitled to claim for 50% of your insured and uninsured losses0 -

If it's 50/50 your claim for insured losses will be paid in full by your insurer (ie 100% less your excess)
You will be able to pursue the third party for 50% of your uninsured losses - including your excess - (and 50% of any compensation awarded for your whiplash)0
