This fact is being exploited in the form of fraudulent whiplash claims where cars have impacted at less than 12 miles per hour. In some cases defendants have reported hitting vehicles literally as they come to a standstill.

Taking advantage of this simple rule has been the issue of exploitation practices for years and the insurance companies how find themselves shelling out personal injury compensation settlements have had enough of these whiplash claims.

Helping the insurers combat the problem are Thatcham a motor vehicle specialist company renowned for their contributions to vehicle security. Thatcham have developed a computer based system that records details of the impact and is able to make the distinction of whether the road traffic accident was capable of sustaining a whiplash injury for the occupants.

The only stumbling block is the fact there are no legislative measures to benchmark the fact.

There is however compelling evidence from persistent test results conducted as part of research from Thatcham. Eliminating fraudulent whiplash claims is another step toward tidying up what has been a market muddied by fraudsters over the years and the insurance companies will welcome any move that helps.
