Understanding Road Traffic Accident Claims

A road traffic accident claim allows individuals injured in a car accident to pursue compensation for physical, emotional and financial losses. This can include medical costs, lost income, vehicle damage and pain and suffering. According to the Department for Transport, more than 130,000 road users were injured in UK traffic accidents in 2022.

If your accident was not your fault, for example, if another driver failed to drive safely or ignored road rules, you may be able to make a road accident claim against the responsible driver or their insurer.

Gathering evidence is key to a successful claim. This might include photographs of the accident scene, witness statements, police reports and repair estimates, all essential for proving fault and building your case.

Our Role in Managing Your Road Traffic Accident Claim

The road traffic accident solicitors we work with specialise in helping victims navigate the often complex claims process. We aim to make it as straightforward and stress-free as possible while securing fair compensation on your behalf.

How Our Panel of Solicitors Help:

• Legal Advice: They explain your rights, assess your case and advise whether you can make a claim if the accident was not your fault.
  
  
• Gathering Evidence: They help you obtain key documentation, medical records, police reports, witness details and vehicle repair estimates.
  
  
• Negotiating with Insurers: They deal directly with insurance companies on your behalf to ensure a fair and timely settlement.
  
  
• Representation in Court: If required, a solicitor from our panel can represent you and present your case professionally.
  
  

Types of Road Accident Claims

We help with all types of road traffic accident claims, including:

• Car Accident Claims: For drivers injured in collisions that were not their fault.
  
  
• Passenger Claims: If you were injured as a passenger, you can make a car accident passenger claim against the driver at fault.
  
  
• Pedestrian Claims: If you were hit by a vehicle while walking, you may be entitled to road accident compensation.
  
  
• Motorcycle and Bicycle Claims: Riders and cyclists injured in crashes caused by other road users can also make a car crash compensation claim.
  
  

Vehicle Repair and Courtesy Car Entitlement

If your vehicle has been damaged in an accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to a courtesy car while your own vehicle is being repaired. We work with trusted partners who can arrange a like-for-like replacement vehicle, ensuring you can stay mobile during your claim process. A solicitor we instruct will also help you recover the full cost of repairs or replacement directly from the at-fault party’s insurer.

How to Claim for a Road Traffic Accident

Knowing how to claim for a road traffic accident, including non-fault cases, can make the process smoother. Here are the key steps:

• Seek Medical Attention: Prioritise your health and get any injuries checked by a medical professional.
  
  
• Document the Scene: Take photographs, gather witness details and obtain a police report if possible.
  
  
• Contact Injuries Assist: Reach out to Injuries Assist for guidance and to confirm who was at fault.
  
  
• File Your Claim: A solicitor from our panel will prepare and submit your claim to the responsible insurer.
  
  
• Negotiate Settlement: We, and the solicitors we work with, negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible compensation.
  
  
• Receive Compensation: Once settled, you will receive payment for your injuries, losses and any vehicle damage.
  
  

How Much Compensation for a Car Accident?

Many clients ask, “How much compensation will I get for a car accident?” The amount varies depending on injury type, medical costs, loss of earnings and overall impact on your life.

For example:

• Minor injuries may lead to compensation between £1,000 and £5,000.
• Moderate injuries can result in payouts from £15,000 to £50,000.
• Severe or long-term injuries may exceed £100,000.

The figures above are illustrative only. Every case is unique, and your compensation will depend on different factors. A solicitor from our panel will provide an accurate estimate once all evidence and medical reports are reviewed.
