Road Traffic Accident Claim

Doing the following after the car accident will help you create a stronger case so that you can get the maximum compensation for your personal injury claim: Even if the car damage looks minor and the injuries look like they are very mild and do not require immediate medical treatment, it is still advisable to call the police to the scene of the accident so you can get an official record of everything. At a later date, when you can, get a copy of the official police report and keep it with you. This report will contain several important details that could help you when filing your compensation claim successfully. In clear cut cases of where the fault lies, the report may also include the police officer’s opinion of who was responsible for the accident.

The more information you can provide, the more accurately and quickly we can assess your claim. Information such as the circumstances of the accident, the registration number and insurance details of the other party, along with a police case reference number, photos, video or even dashcam footage are very helpful. Don’t worry if you don’t have all of that information. One call to us and we’ll be able to explain your legal rights based on the information you can provide.

✓ Firstly, we will arrange a free medical examination in your local area to assess the severity of your injuries and estimated recovery time. In many cases, we are able to obtain early partial compensation payments to cover immediate costs such as physiotherapy if required – which can also be arranged at facilities in your area. The evidence gathering process will involve a full account of the car accident, when it happened, where it happened, and why it happened. We will also assist you in gathering photographs and witness statements where applicable which, together with your medical records, will form the core backbone of evidence as we seek to prove negligence. ✓ The vast majority of car accident injury claims will be settled out of court where there is strong evidence proving negligence and liability. If the defendant seeks an out of court settlement we will discuss with their representatives an appropriate compensation settlement. Where negligence is disputed, or perhaps there is shared negligence with other parties, your case will go before the courts. We have vast experience in court cases, where you may be called to give evidence and rest assured we will be there to support you every step of the way.

✓ You could be entitled to claim compensation if you’ve been injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault. ✓ Compensation amounts are based on the severity of your injuries and the type of care you may need in the future. ✓ Compensation also covers all of your out of pocket expenses you may have incurred since your accident. ✓ You have up to three years from the date of the accident to make a claim. ✓ Our tailor-made legal services are offered on a No Win No Fee basis. ✓ You may receive significantly more when claiming with us than with another firm as we don’t deduct fees for certain types of out of pocket expenses we’ll claim for you.
