Dear Clive
Legal Claim - whiplash local
A few weeks ago someone went into the back of my car and I now have Whiplash. When I told my insurance company about it they told me that I have to make a claim through their solicitors in Liverpool but I would rather deal with a local Solicitor. Can I make a personal injury claim through a local solicitor even though I am claiming through my insurance company to get my car fixed?

I underwent breast enhancement surgery last year and was given PIP implants. I am now extremely worried about how safe these implants are and whether I will be able to get them taken out if they are faulty.

Legal Claims - hearing employment
I have noticed that my hearing had deteriorated recently and I wondered if this may have been caused by my previous employment as I worked in a very noisy factory for many years and I was not provided with any ear defenders. I have not worked for a number of years and I would like to know what I need to do to see if I have a claim?

Legal Claims - nursing home reimbursement
I read your column a few weeks about Nursing Fee reimbursement. My dad has been in a care home for some time and has been paying his own fees but I don't think he should be because he is unable to look after himself. Is it right that he should still be paying?
