If you or a loved one have been injured in a car accident, you could be entitled to make a car accident compensation claim. Whether you’ve sustained minor or serious injuries, we understand the pain and suffering you’re going through.
Our specialist Personal Injury Solicitors are experienced in car accident claims. We can help you get the compensation you deserve for the physical pain, emotional suffering, and financial losses you have endured.
With over 31 million cars on the road in Great Britain, unfortunately the reality for many of us is that at some point in our lifetime we will be involved in a road traffic accident. The seriousness of injuries sustained will depend on the severity of the accident.
If you suffered minor or serious injuries as a result of a car accident, which was no fault of your own you could be entitled to make a car accident claim. A claim for compensation could help you recover financial support for loss of earnings, medical costs and the cost of any ongoing treatment required to help you recover from any emotional trauma you have suffered.
Similar to other types of personal injuries claims, car accidents claims are subject to strict 3-year time limits. Your claim must be brought forward within 3 years from the date of the accident or 3 years from the date you discovered your injuries were a result of the accident. However, there are exceptions for certain cases where a child or someone without mental capacity has been injured.
As a specialist Law Firm, we offer “No Win No Fee” agreement meaning there is no financial risk to you if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim is successful then a success fee will be deducted from the compensation award to cover the cost of your legal fees.
The majority of car accidents are caused by carelessness, dangerous driving and bad habits. There are certain causes of car accidents which may entitle an injured person to pursue a car accident compensation claim. Common causes of car accident claims include:
Occasionally car accidents are caused by an uninsured or untraced driver, which can be extremely frustrating.
An uninsured driver is a person who is driving without any insurance or without appropriate insurance. In the UK, it is a legal requirement to have car insurance, the minimum legal requirement is third party insurance, which covers injuries or damages to other people and vehicles if you are involved in an accident.
An untraced driver is a person who leaves the scene of an accident without providing their details. These are also known as ‘hit and run’ drivers.
If you’ve been hit by an uninsured or untraced driver you can still pursue a claim. The Motor Insurers’ Bureau was formed to provide compensation to victims of accidents caused by uninsured and untraced drivers.
