What happens when compensation for whiplash claims is made more generous? / J. David Cassidy, Soren Leth-Petersen, Gabriel Pons Rotger

Sumario: Learning about claimant behavior after whiplash injury is important because whiplash is the most common traffic injury and can result in prolonged disability. Furthermore, the magnitude of insurance claims related to whiplash is significant and has been increasing in recent years. Whiplash claimants typically have no detectible or objective pathology to account for their symptoms, so that the only assessment of severity is how claimants subjectively feel about their injuries, something that is hard to qualify. This situation leaves a scope for ex post moral hazard to occur in whiplash claims
