If you have been involved in an accident, your first thoughts are the desire to get better and back to normal as quickly as possible. Many people are reluctant to pursue claims of compensation for the fear of appearing money grabbing and adding to the impression that Britain has a compensation culture. If you are faced with this dilemma, it is important when weighing up whether or not to pursue a claim that you also take into account that insurance is purchased for a reason and that is to compensate those injured following an accident. Further, if it means that by using the insurance you will get treatment more quickly, be able to pay the bills if your wages are cut to Statutory Sick Pay levels whilst you are away from work, then it will alleviate many of your worries and concerns. Contrary to much that is read in the press, the injury claims that proceed are not leading to a compensation culture. Statistics indicate that the levels of genuine claims have not increased pro rate to the population over the years. Some will try and get compensation for false claims, but that should not be a deterrent for genuine claimants.
