24.04.08 A recent article by the
Insurance Post
magazine suggests that there have been technological
advances in vehicle braking systems which could have a
profound effect on common injuries such as whiplash.
With more than 250,000
whiplash claims
every year, insurers have a vested interest in
monitoring these kind of developments.
Thatcham the UKs
motoring research body funded by insurance companies,
reports that Volvo, Honda and Mercedes have made
significant progress with their new generation of
vehicles. Volvo have developed windshield mounted
laser devices which are said to operate in such a way as
to identify hazards before the driver reacts, preparing
the vehicle for an emergency stop. Mercedes have also
been at the forefront of similar technology with their
new models having intelligent braking as part of the
standard fit.
Whiplash compensation may be claimed by any vehicle
occupant who has have been injured as a result of
another parties negligence. We are a UK based law firm
dealing with such claims on a No win no fee basis. |
