Official UK Whiplash Compensation Tariffs 2025/2026
The UK government introduced fixed whiplash tariffs under the Civil Liability Act 2018, replacing general damages for minor whiplash injuries in road traffic accidents. Amounts were uplifted by approximately 15% in 2025 to reflect inflation.
| Injury Duration | Whiplash Only | Whiplash + Psychological |
|---|---|---|
| 0–3 months | £275 | £300 |
| 3–6 months | £565 | £595 |
| 6–9 months | £965 | £1,025 |
| 9–12 months | £1,390 | £1,490 |
| 12–15 months | £2,335 | £2,435 |
| 15–18 months | £3,005 | £3,165 |
| 18–24 months | £4,830 | £5,020 |
Injuries lasting beyond 24 months may fall outside the fixed tariff system and attract higher general damages. Speak to a solicitor.
