Road Traffic Accidents
Home > Personal Injury >
Whatever the type of road accident; car, cycling, pedestrian, motorbike, motorway, head-on collision or rear-end collision, if you were not to blame we should be able to make a case for a compensation claim based on the circumstances, such as driver negligence, reckless driving, vehicle malfunction, poor road maintenance and weather conditions.
We help to make the future and your recovery process more positive by helping you to get fair compensation for the accident if it wasn’t your fault. The funds from a successful claim can help pay for your treatment and help with your bills if you are unable to work.
Our experience in handling car accident claims and as motorcycle accident lawyers makes the process of pursuing compensation simple and easy with ‘no win, no fee’ options available.
We can help you claim for any injury you sustained in the accident, including whiplash and air bag injuries, as well as loss of earnings while you cannot work, treatment costs and for the emotional trauma you have suffered.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I claim for a car accident?
We will help you to get the maximum amount of personal injury compensation possible. The exact figure will depend on how serious your injuries are and how long they will affect you. As well as claiming recompense for the injury, medical expenses, rehabilitation and loss of earnings, we may also be able to help you claim for damage to your vehicle and in the case of motorcycle accidents, your apparel. Claims can range from under £1000 to over £200,000.
How long do I have to claim for a car accident?
Road traffic accident claims can be made up to three years after the date of the accident. For children under 18, a claim can be made any time until they turn 21 years of age. If an injury victim is unable to make the claim themselves due to mental incapacity (pre-dating or because of the accident) there are no time limits on making a claim while they are incapable.
What if there was no other driver involved?
It may be that the conditions of the road were to blame for your accident and that you can claim against the highway authority for compensation, for example, potholes or overgrown verges obscuring signage and sightlines.
Can I claim against the driver of the car in which I was injured?
If they were to blame for the accident, then yes, there is a good chance that you can claim compensation for your injuries. You can make a claim even if that person is a friend or family as the compensation is paid by their insurance company not by the driver personally.
How do I prove what caused my accident?
Tell us what happened and we will help you to gather the evidence you need to support your claim. To succeed with a claim for compensation we will need to prove the accident was, on the balance of probabilities, the fault of another party; so more than a 50% likelihood. It helps to have photo and video evidence of the crash scene, your injuries and damage to your car or motorbike, and of the road conditions which may have contributed towards the accident.
