When you get in touch for a free claims assessment, one of our Car Accident Lawyers will need to decide if we can prove that:
Passengers injured in a car accident can claim compensation, even if the driver of the car you were in was responsible for the accident.
You might be reluctant to make a claim against them, particularly if they’re a friend or family member. But please don’t worry, this is exactly what car insurance is for. Their car insurance company would pay the costs of a successful claim, including your compensation settlement. Your friend or family member won’t be out of pocket, and you can still the compensation you need to make a full recovery.
Most people don’t know that you can make a car accident claim if you were injured because of a driver who fled the scene of the accident, known as an untraced driver or by an uninsured driver.
Insurance companies have to put money into a fund, managed by the Motor Insurers Bureau, to cover compensation for people who are injured by uninsured or untraced drivers. Even though the process is slightly different, we can still help you make a claim.
We’ll give you a free claims assessment to see if we can take on your claim
Once we take your claim on, we’ll gather evidence including police statements, accident reports, photographs taken at the scene of the accident, dash cam footage and witness statements
We’ll carry out a full investigation to find out who’s responsible for the accident and your injuries
We’ll arrange for you to be examined by an independent medical expert. They’ll give us a written medical report on your injuries. This will help us understand how they’ve affected your life. The medical report will also help us to understand if we need to arrange any rehabilitation or if you have any care needs.
Once we have all the information, your Car Accident Lawyer will review it all and calculate how much compensation you should get
If the other side accept responsibility for the accident, we could then apply for Interim Payments of compensation for you. This can help you to access medical treatment and support you need without having to wait for your case to settle. It can also help you pay your living costs if you can’t go to work because of your injuries
If the other side accept don’t accept responsibility and your claim is scheduled to go to Court, don’t worry as only around 1% of claims actually get to Court. If a Trial date is set, we’ll continue negotiating for an out-of-Court settlement as many cases settle beforehand. Should you case be heard in Court, we’ll be there alongside you, offering support every step of the way.
Yes. You may need to make a claim for a child under the age of 18, for someone who was so badly injured in the accident that they can’t make a claim themselves or if they died because of their injuries.
In these cases, our Car Accident Lawyers can help you as they are specialists in dealing with serious injuries and fatal car accidents.
Car accident claims must be made within 3 years of the date of the accident.
Most of our car accident claims are dealt with on a No Win, No Fee basis. Please just ask us for details.
