Car Accident Claims
Our team of experienced lawyers are here to help you with your car accident claims. We appreciate the gravity of a car accident which can often cause significant injuries, leaving physical and psychological trauma in its wake, particularly when it results from someone else’s actions.
A car accident claim allows you to claim compensation for the damages and/or injuries you have suffered due to the impact of the accident. To ensure your claim is successful, you must be able to provide proof that the other party had acted negligently and failed to show a duty of care. You can claim compensation whether you are a driver or a passenger.
ELIGIBILITY
Drivers
If you have suffered injuries as a driver following a car accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to make a personal injury claim against the third-party.
Passengers
If you have suffered injuries as a passenger following a car accident, you could be entitled to make a personal injury claim against the person at fault. This could be the driver of the vehicle you were in or a third-party driver.
We advise you to seek professional advice from our medical negligence experts as soon as possible.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CLAIM TO SETTLE?
Each claim must be considered upon its own merits. We must obtain relevant evidence in relation to the incident to ascertain a form of admission from the third party, these situations can cause delays. Therefore, whilst we are unable to provide a time frame, we do promise to ensure the claim is dealt with in a prompt and professional manner.

We are not here only to just recover compensation for the negligence of someone else’s actions, we are here to also ensure that you are adequately looked at, cared for, and made sure that you are on the right path to recovery. Money can only go so far if you are still suffering, so we will do our best to align you with the best medical professionals out there to maximise your chances of recovery.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME TO MAKE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
Most of the claims we handle are on a No Win No Fee Basis. This means that you won’t pay anything upfront and will only pay if your claim is successful at the end. Most legal fees will be covered by the third party and the rest will only be deducted from your compensation award. All this will be formally discussed and agreed with you prior to proceeding forwards with your claim.
CAN I CLAIM IF I AM PARTIALLY AT FAULT?
Each accident has its own merits, with some accidents you can place fault within each party.
Although you may believe that you were at partial fault for the accident, more often or not within the legal road laws, you may very well not have been. It is always worth having a conversation with us in regard to situations like this, we offer free consultations for these matters.
