    As far as I am aware if you run into the back of someone you are liable for the accident, even if they set off on a clear roundabout and then stop for no apparant reason as happened to me a few years ago.

    Sadly many people think a whiplash claim is their just reward for the inconvenience of the accident, maybe if they realised that it costs every driver more in increased premiums they would think twice.

    I hope you get this sorted if it was a low speed shunt it seems a little harsh.

    Having learnt this week how painful and inconvenient a whiplash injury is, I can understand why people claim. I wasn't going to bother but my own insurers have told me I should particularly as I have legal expenses insurance. I don't intend to "get every penny I can" as some people are telling me but I have been caused pain and inconvenience by the negligence of another driver.
