How much compensation for whiplash depends on the severity of the injuries and the length of time it will likely to take to recover. Simple cases of whiplash will likely get around £1,000 where there is no lasting damage and recovery occurs within a few weeks. A more serious whiplash injury could be as high as £16,400. Working out how much whiplash compensation you will be awarded is not always a simple process. It normally is worked out by assessing:
• The severity of your whiplash symptoms
• How long it will take you to recover
• If the whiplash also affects other parts of your body such as your back or shoulders

The following amounts are guidelines. In reality most whiplash claims are very different and a solicitor will be able to offer a more accurate assessment.

Minor
• Full recovery in under a year	£1,000 - £2,850
• Full recovery in about 2 years	£2,850 - £5150
Moderate
• Injuries that have worsened pre-existing conditions
• Recovery within a few years to a "nuisance" level
• Increased chance of further issues with the injury	£5,150 - £9,000
Serious
• Severe limitation and difficulty with movement
• Permanent pain, stiffness and discomfort
• Possible need for further operations	£9,000 - £16,400
Severe
• Neck fractures or dislocation	£16,400 - £21,600
• Severe damage to neck, soft tissue, and tendons	Circa £36,000
• Permanent damage	£43,000 - £86,000
• Permanent damage with little or no movement	Circa £97,000
