Whiplash claims are on the rise in the United Kingdom, with as many as 1,200 people a day claiming they suffered neck injury after an auto accident, according to a report released by the Association of British Insurers.
"The U.K. is the whiplash capital of Europe," declared the ABI in a statement.
Supporting that claim, the ABI said, 75 percent of auto personal injury claims are for whiplash compared to an average of 40 percent for the rest of Europe.
