Whatever the reason, if you have been injured through no fault of your own, you could be entitled to make a car accident claim.
If another driver is responsible, a claim will be made against their insurance company. The driver does not pay for your compensation personally. If the other driver left the scene of the accident, or does not have insurance, a claim can be made through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) instead. We are highly experienced in MIB claims as well.
If dangerous road conditions caused your accident, it may be possible to bring a claim against your local authority or the Highways Agency.
Assuming the other driver does stop and you have a camera to hand, it is useful to take photographs of the damage to the vehicles, any marks on the road and of the other driver. Not everyone is who they say they are. You should then report the accident to your insurer.
If you have been injured, be sure to see a doctor. Symptoms may take several days to appear. Even if you feel that it’s not worth seeing a doctor, medical advice is always beneficial and can help prove your claim at a later stage.

We can handle the entire car accident claim for you and take the worry out of your hands. The first step is to notify the other driver’s insurance company. We will then collect all the evidence needed to prove your claim and negotiate a suitable settlement.
If needed, a member of our staff will attend at the accident scene with you and help gather in crucial evidence. We have an ex-police officer in our team who is highly experienced and who can carry out home visits or attend at accident locations to take photos and speak to witnesses.
There are times when you may want to make a claim on a loved one’s behalf. This happens if the injured person is a child (under the age of 18 or if your loved one died as a result of their injuries or does not have the mental ability to take legal action on their own.
The process of claiming on behalf of a loved one is slightly different. We have the expertise needed to handle claims involving minors and claims involving fatalities or serious injuries.
Once you have settled your claim, you cannot ask re-open it and ask for more. A settlement is full and final. That is why it is vital to ask an experienced solicitor to represent you. Your claim must be fully investigated and your compensation properly calculated. Otherwise, you could lose out.
Damages are there to compensate you for your pain and suffering and to recover the financial losses you have experienced or may experience in the future. These can be significant, particularly if you are unable to work – either temporarily or at all. You may also need medical treatment, care and specialist equipment. We make sure that all these losses are recovered in full.
