It doesn't surprise me that Oldham is up there in the rankings either

I've only ever had whiplash once, my car aquaplaned off into a wall, no other vehicle involved

I have a friend (well play cricket with him) who has a neck whiplash claim from an injury he sustained when a BMW rear-ended the bus he was on.
Get this - the driver of the BMW was fine and my friend was standing at the time of the accident.
Doesn't seem to have affected his cricketing activities either.

I'm amazed Bradford has lost it's status! All said and done the insurance companies need to be brought to task to stop fuelling this farce. We ought to take a leaf from Scotland's book.

Of the 10 cities with the least claims, nine were in Scotland. That can be explained by the fact that Scotland clamps down much harder on referral fees, the bizarre and highly controversial system by which insurers encourage speculative claims by selling on details of crash claimants to personal injury companies. "I don't believe people in Scotland have significantly stronger necks," Dominic Clayden, claims director at Aviva, told the Financial Times

Mind you, he's not too bad for a bloke on the sick.
Mental Health issues ie. work shy with compliant GP.
He has also just got himself a council house, to which (without any irony) he feels he is entitled.
I love this country.

I suppose the only answer is to have a proper medical check before the court case.
