Be Medically Assessed In Derby With A Member Of Our Panel Of Medical Experts
If you have been injured in a car accident in Derby which was not your fault, you could be owed up to tens of thousands of pounds in car accident compensation. The first stage in making a car accident claim is to get a medical assessment from a doctor. As a result of your assessment, the doctor will produce a medical report which will define your injuries, any medical treatment you will need as a result and what impact your injuries are likely to have on your quality of life going forward. Your car crash solicitor will then use the medical report to value your car accident claim.
If you use Legal Expert to make your car crash claim, we will arrange your medical assessment. You will get an appointment with a reliable private doctor near you, who will conduct your assessment at a time convenient to you.

If you have suffered whiplash in a rear-end collision or other car accident in Derby that was not your fault, you could be entitled to make a compensation claim for your injuries. Call Legal Expert today about making a whiplash claim. Find out further information about different whiplash injuries in this guide.

Serious Injuries
Unfortunately, some car accidents in Derby and elsewhere can result in the victim suffering serious or life-changing injuries. This can include injuries where the victim becomes disabled or develops a condition that gives them chronic pain. These sorts of injuries are understandably awarded higher compensation settlements, to compensate the victim for their pain and suffering as well as pay for any ongoing medical treatment or mobility aids they may now require. Such injuries might include limbs being crushed, paraplegia, or deep burns over a large part of the body. If you have suffered a serious or life-changing injury, due to a car accident that was not your fault, call Legal Expert today to see how much car accident compensation you could claim.
Tips On Claiming Compensation After A Car Accident In Derby
This section will help clarify some important aspects when claiming for a Derby road accident.
Remember that, in order to successfully claim, you need to prove that your injury was a result of third-party negligence. As such, if you’re claiming for an accident in Derby, you will need sufficient evidence. This can include CCTV footage depicting the accident, photographs of your injury, witness contact details and medical records detailing the diagnosis and treatment you received.
Also, you could attend an independent medical appointment to produce a report on the full extent of your injuries. Please also remember that, if you’ve suffered multiple injuries from a Derby road accident, you can attempt to receive compensation for all injuries under the same claim.
Most car accident claims are made through the relevant car insurers. However, if you’ve experienced a hit and run in Derby, the driver may be untraceable which means you wouldn’t be able to claim in the traditional way. However, you could still receive compensation by making a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). The MIB makes sure you can still receive compensation if you’ve been hit by an uninsured or untraced driver.
You can also claim if you’ve suffered a criminal injury from a violent crime. If you’ve suffered an injury from a hit and run in Derby and the other driver has intentionally attempted to injure you, you may be able to seek compensation through The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
If you’re unsure if you can claim for an injury suffered from an accident in Derby, please contact us for free legal advice.
