Disputing Whiplash at Low SpeedsCasey v Cartwright [2006] EWCA Civ 1280
CA
5 October 2006
Daily Law Notes Summary
Where a defendant sought to challenge a claim of whiplash injury
on the grounds that the impact was too low to have caused injury,
the challenge should normally be made in writing within three
months of receipt of the letter of claim. The court would normally
permit expert evidence to be adduced in support of the challenge
where it had a real prospect of success.
