Probably true, a large proportion of "rear ended shunted" end up in an attempted compo claim, justified or not

Its possible, it can happen, but not as often as the claim culture has taken it.
If your claimant keeps his claim reasonable, it will probably be paid. If he gets greedy it could all unravel for him.
