Low Velocity Road Accident Claims
Low Velocity Impact Personal Injury

Low velocity road accident claims can be contentious in nature and proving liability for your injury may be difficult. A low velocity accident is considered to be a collision that occurs at very low speed. According to the most recent study conducted by Transport Scotland, low velocity accidents have increased significantly when compared to a decade ago. In 2015 alone, 9,204 people were slightly injured in road accidents. Low velocity road accidents can happen for a combination of reasons.

Scotland’s roadways have become more congested than ever before. This has led to an increased risk to drivers of becoming involved in low velocity road accidents. If you have been injured in a low velocity road accident, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, property damages, and financial losses incurred.

Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd have been helping drivers, like you, get the compensation they deserve. Our claim specialists have the experience you need to navigate the intricacies of the claims process with success.

Low Velocity Impact Personal Injury Claims
The nature of this type of claim can make it difficult to prove your injuries were a result of the accident. The other parties insurer may claim the impact was not sufficient to cause your injuries. Because the damage to your vehicle may be minimal, if at all, it may be more difficult to gather evidence in favour of your claim.

What Kind of Injuries Can I Claim?
Low velocity accident injuries can be more subtle than those sustained in medium or high-speed accidents. It is common for soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash, to set in once you have already left the scene of the accident. Historically, insurance companies can be hesitant about agreeing that your injuries are the result of your accident. Insurance companies will refer to the Delta Velocity principle to measure the severity of your collision.

Delta Velocity – Delta V Principle
The Delta V Principle is a compilation of engineer reports and medical evidence used to discredit low velocity personal injury claims. This principle can be used as an arguing point to support the insurers claim; your accident could not have caused injuries as severe as you claim. For example, your whiplash claim may be contested because you were not travelling at a Delta Velocity equivalent to produce these type of injuries. Although your insurance company may provide significant evidence in the form of engineering and medical reports, the court acknowledges the possibility of an injury occurring at any speed, so your claim cannot be denied without a careful examination of all the facts. This is something that we can help overcome.

What if My Injuries Are Delayed?
Low velocity personal injuries are usually of the internal kind. Because there may be no external bruises, coupled with the adrenaline rush a road traffic accident provides, you may not be aware you are injured for days. A delayed injury claim is often reluctantly met by an insurer. In most cases, this delay in symptoms will be used to argue the validity of your claim. You will need to provide sufficient evidence to support your claim in this scenario. This evidence will need to show your injuries are, in fact, real and a result of the accident. A medical assessment of your injuries will be required before you can make your claim. This can help you to prove:

  • Your Injuries are a Result of the Accident
  • The Prognosis of Recovery

What If My Injury Was Pre-existing but The Accident Worsened it?
If your condition was pre-existing it is going to make your claims process more difficult. You should always divulge any previous injuries when lodging a claim. You don’t want past accidents or injuries being presented to the Court as proof your claim has been over estimated. If it is determined that the accident worsened your injury, you will be entitled to compensation.

How to Increase My Claim’s Chance of Success​
Low velocity accident claims lack the straightforwardness found in other more severe road traffic claims. In order to get around this lack of transparency, you must gather as much evidence in support of your claim as possible. This includes video and pictures of you personal and property damages. If possible, you should get witness statements and details. Presenting the Court with this evidence can help to prove you are the victim and not at fault for the accident.

How Will My Compensation Be Calculated​
The compensation you are awarded will be dependent upon the extent of your injuries. Compensation is calculated by adding up the total amount of special and general damages you have accrued. Below are the most common injuries claimed in low velocity accidents.

  • Whiplash
  • Cuts
  • Bruises
  • Seat Belt Injury
  • Airbag Injury
  • Broken Bones

What to do if the Other Party’s Insurance Company Contacts You
It is not uncommon for the other party’s insurer to contact you with some form of settlement. It is important to understand, this insurance agent is not working on your behalf. Insurance agents have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to increase bottom line profits and any insurance settlement will undoubtedly have a clause denying you access to future financial recourse. Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can work with you to help you to get the just amount of compensation for your injuries.

Why Should I Use a Claim Advisor?
Utilising the services of a claims advisor makes sense. Claims advisors are familiar with the claims process and they understand the mechanics behind making a claim. Having access to expert advice can prove to be priceless and if you are having problems getting compensation for your injuries, you need to consider incorporating a claim specialist into your strategy. Don’t let the insurance companies bully you out of your compensation. Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can help you get the compensation you are entitled to.
