I was in a small car accident the other day - I got rear ended. Not a huge amount of damage, it can be fixed easily enough I'd say. I'd guess that the guy was doing about 20mph when he hit me. I was obviously pretty shaken up but otherwise fine at the time. However later my back started to get sore, but I thought it might just be temporary. Today in work it is noticibly uncomfortable. I have arranged a doctors appointment for tomorrow to get it checked out.
I don't think I have full-on whiplash, but perhaps my muscles got a bit of a stretch in the shunt. I'm not going to claim for damages unnessarily, but if not, can I get his insurance company to pay for some sort of physio or chiropracter etc? Or will i have to go through the normal procedures of a personal injury claim?
Advice appreciated - thanks
