  • Car crashes
  • Motorbike accidents
  • Hit and runs
  • Insured driver incidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Passenger accidents
  • Incidents involving cyclists

How do you know if the basis exists for a successful personal injury claim?

Ask yourself the following three questions…

  • Did the accident happen because of another individual’s negligence or error?
  • Did you see a doctor as a result of your injuries?
  • Did the incident occur within the past three years?

If you are able to answer yes to those questions you definitely have the basis for a personal injury claim. It is worth noting that three years is the typical personal injury claims limit but there are some exceptions.

In this guide, we will reveal everything you need to know about making these claims with car accident claims solicitors. This includes whether you need a local solicitor, what you can claim for, and much more.

How To Find A High Quality Solicitor To Conduct Your Car Accident Claim

If you were to have been involved in a car accident, you may be feeling a bit distressed and shaken up. Moreover, you are probably facing all sorts of costs, from treatment expenses to the cost of repairing your vehicle. The good news is that you do not have to foot the bill if the accident was not your fault.

By making a car accident claim, you could get the money you need to ensure you can focus on recovering without any financial worry. However, one thing you do need to do is make sure you select the right personal injury solicitor to work on your case so that you have the best chance of gaining compensation that you deserve. Here are some key qualities you should look out for when using a solicitor to work on your case:

  • No Win, No Fee – You should always search for a solicitor that is happy to work on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means you’re only going to pay some amount of legal fees when and if your claim is a success, and thus you are offered a significant level of protection in monetary terms.
  • Experience – You need to ensure that the solicitor you are considering has many years of experience under their belt. You do not want to go for someone that is effectively going to be learning on the job. Not only this, but you need to make sure that the experience is relevant and that they have worked on car accident claims similar to yours.
  • Reputation – The third and final factor you need to take into account is the reputation of the solicitor. Read reviews that have been left by those that have used his or her services before.

You can work with a lawyer based anywhere in the UK, which is why we are able to assist. Most claims are handled via email and telephone today.

What Car Accident Claims Can Our Team Handle?

Here at Legal Expert, we have years of experience in the industry and we can help you to make a claim for any type of road traffic accident. We always aim to secure above the average compensation for car accident claims, and we have a good record for doing so. Below, we will take a look at some of the most common road traffic accident claims we handle in further detail.

Car Crash Accidents And Injuries

Have you been injured in a car crash because the other driver was going over the speed limit? Perhaps they were talking on their mobile phone when the crash happened? Irrespective of what has occurred, if you have been involved in a road traffic accident, and it was not your fault, you will be eligible for compensation.

Aside from showing that someone else caused the incident, there are two other key factors that must be proven if you are to have a chance of securing a pay-out. Firstly, the accident must have happened within the past three years, as this is usually the time limit on all personal injury cases. You must have also seen a doctor. This is imperative, otherwise, you will not be able to prove that you were injured to begin with.

You can help to strengthen your case by providing your solicitor with crucial pieces of evidence. If anyone witnessed the car accident, it is a wise idea to get contact information for them, as witness statements could strengthen your case dramatically. Aside from this, it is also a good idea to take photographs of your injuries as well as any damage to your vehicle and/ or the scene of the crash. You are also advised to keep proof of any expenses encountered as a direct result of the incident. Examples include the likes of childcare costs, hospital parking expenses, treatment costs, loss of income, and counselling costs.

Vehicle Accident Passenger Injuries

We can help you to claim if you have been injured while a passenger in a vehicle. This is the case no matter whether you were in the offending vehicle or not. After all, if the driver of your vehicle crashed the car, this is not your fault, and so you can still claim.

Taxi Passenger Or Driver Injuries

We can also help you to make a claim if you have been injured while in a car crash and you were using a taxi service at the time. All taxi companies have a duty of care to their customers. If you were injured because of the driver’s carelessness or because the company did not carry out the required checks, we can help you to secure compensation.

Bus And Coach Passenger Injuries

There are many different types of public transport accidents that can occur, from bus crashes to train accidents. However, irrespective of the nature of the incident, if you have been using public transport during the accident, you will be entitled to compensation. This is because the company has a responsibility to ensure that all passengers are cared for.

When it comes to making this type of claim, the most important thing you need to do is find a quality solicitor that can give you the greatest chance of getting the full amount of compensation you deserve. Once you have hired a personal injury lawyer, there are some things he or she will require from you to build a strong case. This includes all of the following:

  • The details of your injuries, including the medical diagnosis and the course of treatment you must follow
  • The date of the accident
  • How the accident occurred
  • Where the incident happened
  • The contact details of the person that caused the accident
  • The contact details of anyone that witnessed the incident
  • Proof of any costs you have entailed, such as travel costs, prescription expenses, and counselling costs
  • Proof of loss of income
  • Any documents that can support your claim
  • Any photographs you have taken of your injuries or the scene of the incident

Pedestrian Vehicle Accident Injuries

Sadly, road traffic accidents involving pedestrians are a common occurrence. They account for a huge number of accidents on UK roads. Unfortunately, these incidents tend to be major, since the injuries suffered are often severe. More often than not a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle with these road traffic accidents, and so they can sustain bad injuries. If this has happened to you, you will be entitled to compensation. Unfortunately, there are occasions whereby the person who caused the accident flees the scene. If this happens to you, you will still be able to claim. These are known as untraced driver claims. In such instances, as with all road traffic accidents, it is imperative to inform the police of what has occurred.

Rear End Shunt Injuries

If there is one thing all drivers have experienced, it is having another driver right behind them, not leaving enough space. Not only is this incredibly frustrating but it is a massive risk. After all, one late break or incorrect move, and you’re going to end up crashing into each other. You are advised to leave a good amount of space between vehicles so this is something you can make a car crash claim for.

Roundabout Accident And Injury Claims

There is no denying that the roundabout is one of the most common danger zones in terms of crashes. People often cut each other off and drive unsafely, and this can cause horrific accidents, with a huge number of cars involved. No matter what type of roundabout accident you have been involved in, if it was not your fault, we can help you to claim.

Common Injuries From Car Accidents

When it comes to car accident claims, you probably already know that you can claim for the injuries you have sustained because of the car accident you have been involved in. The amount you get is calculated based on the extent of your injuries and the impact they are going to have on your life. Below, we are going to take a look at some of the most common car accident injuries.

It is worth noting, though, that aside from this, you can claim for any costs you have encountered because of the accident and your injuries. For instance, your own vehicle may have been damaged in the crash, and, if so, the vehicle repair costs will be covered by compensation. You simply need to make sure you keep your receipts so that you can prove this. Other common costs covered in car accident claim payouts UK wide include the cost of parking at the hospital, travel expenses, loss of income, treatment expenses, prescription expenses, the cost of counselling, childcare costs, and such like.

Whiplash Injuries

Did you know that whiplash accounts for approximately 80 per cent of car incident injury claims in the UK? This is the equivalent of every four in five cases.

Whiplash is an injury that often occurs when someone has been involved in a car crash, and this is because the injury is the result of the head jolting backwards and forwards in a violent manner. There are manner symptoms that can arise because of this, including neck pain, arm pain, restricted movement, stiffness, nausea, and blurred vision.

One thing you need to be mindful of is the fact that symptoms often take a while to surface, and so if you have been involved in a road traffic accident you need to see a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Not only this but failure to do so can ruin your chances of securing compensation.

If the car accident you were involved in was not your fault, you should definitely be thinking about making a claim for whiplash compensation. You deserve compensation for your suffering, and you’re not alone, as whiplash costs insurers £2.5 billion a year. Everyone else is getting the financial aid they need to help them through the recovery process, so why shouldn’t you? Call us today for more information on car accident claims for whiplash.

Back Pain And Back Injuries

If you have sustained a minor back injury, such as a soft tissue injury, disc prolapse or a sprain, you could receive anything up to roughly £10,000. This depends on the extent of your injury and how long it will take you to recover. Moderate back injuries, such as ligament damage and forward slipping of the bones of the spine, can result in compensation up to around £30,000. Severe back injuries can lead to a pay-out up to £130,000 (and sometimes more!). The maximum compensation tends to be granted to those who have suffered damage to their nerve roots and spinal cord that can cause impotence or incontinence. Contact us today for a more precise payout figure. We do not recommend using a personal injury claims calculator, as they are not very accurate.

Serious Road Traffic Injuries

We have also helped many people to claim road traffic accident compensation for serious injuries. Of course, such claims can be incredibly traumatic. From paralysis to brain damage, there are many different types of serious injuries that people can suffer in a car crash. We can also help you to launch a claim for a fatal car crash if you have lost a loved one. We have many years of experience in car crash death claims.
