The decision marks a keystone moment in bringing
certainty to mixed injury claims in knowing that you
will receive appropriate compensation. Yet, the
predicament persists that Claimants want clarity in
knowing whether they should be claiming through
the OIC or through a firm of Solicitors, especially if
they have suffered obvious whiplash injuries and perhaps less overt non-whiplash injuries. It is therefore
important to seek clarity before you claim, and our experienced team at Hodge Jones & Allen is on hand to
advise you on whether your Road Traffic Accident
matter is something that we can assist you with. Claims
can leave the OIC process if they are no longer eligible to proceed through it, but this delay risks
Claimants missing out, especially if they approach the
3 year limitation period after navigating administrative delays and unnecessary uncertainty.
