Salford Accident Claims – Must I Use Solicitors In Salford?

If you have had a road traffic accident in Salford, you might be wondering if you are limited to solicitors in Salford when making your claim. While you aren’t obligated to access legal services in order to claim, a solicitor can prove extremely beneficial to your case, and you aren’t limited to solicitors that work locally.

A solicitor can help make the claims process feel less daunting by explaining legal jargon and helping you build your case. For example, a solicitor could take witness statements and gather other evidence, as well as ensure that all areas of your claim are covered.

Will The Whiplash Reforms Affect My Claim?

On May 31st 2021, the way some car accident claims are made changed due to the introduction of the Whiplash Reform Programme. Now, if you are a driver or passenger over the age of 18 and you would like to claim for injuries worth £5,000 or less, your claim must be made through the Government portal, and the compensation you receive will be calculated in line with the tariffs provided by the Whiplash Injury Regulations 2021.

Working With The Right Specialist No Win No Fee Solicitor Can Be Crucial

To answer the question, can I get compensation for a car accident? then the answer is yes. However, what your chances of success are, and how much compensation you might receive, will be driven by the competence of the legal firm you use to process the compensation claim on your behalf. Any legal firm you settle on must be able to answer yes to the following three questions:

  • Can you arrange for me to visit a local doctor to get a free medical examination?
  • Can you take my claims case on under a No Win No Fee deal?
  • Have you won a similar case to mine in the last 12 months?

Should I Look At Reviews Of Salford Car Accident Solicitors?

A review site, if you can find one, that gives honest and impartial reviews of personal injury solicitors is a good place to start looking for a legal firm to process your claim. Once you have used the review site to make a shortlist of potential legal firms, check these against the opinions of others. You can do this by:

  • Asking your friends.
  • Asking your family members.
  • Asking your work colleagues.
  • Asking your Facebook contacts.

Do You Need To Use A Local Solicitor?

The location of your solicitor has very little effect if any on their capability to process a claim successfully on your behalf. You can use email or the phone to keep in touch with your legal team easily and quickly, regardless of where they are located.

A much more important consideration that location is how experienced and effective the solicitor in winning road traffic accident injury claims. There is no reason to use a local Salford solicitor unless you really want to; it is a much better idea to find the best legal firm to do the job and ignore location entirely.

Road Traffic Accident Claims That Legal Expert Handles

When it comes to reasons for making a car accident compensation claim, here at Legal expert, we see some types of accidents crop up far more frequently than others. In the sections below, we cover the more common types of road traffic accidents in Salford.

General Car Accident Claims

To partly answer the question, how much is the average settlement for a car accident? the answer is that it depends on how severe the accident was and the injuries that it caused. We see a wide range of accidents here at Legal Expert, and those such as lorry and HGV accidents, accidents involving learner or inexperienced drivers, etc. are quite common but not worth their own section below.

Passenger Car Accident Claims

As a passenger in a private vehicle, or travelling on public transport in Salford, if you are injured in a road traffic accident then you could be able to claim road accident compensation. A passenger has exactly the same legal rights as the driver of a vehicle when it comes to making personal accident claims.

Taxi Accident Claims

A taxi driver, or any driver of a private hire vehicle such as a minibus or a limousine service, must ensure that they have a valid public liability insurance policy at all times by law. When a passenger in a private hire vehicle is injured in a road traffic accident, they will then be able to make a claim against the insurer.

Bus or Coach Accident Claims In Salford

If you are a passenger on a mass transit service such as a bus, coach or a minibus if you are injured in a road traffic accident while on the vehicle, then you will be able to claim road accident compensation. Legal Expert can help you to make such a claim against the company that owns and operates the vehicle you were riding on at the time of the accident.

Pedestrian Accident Claims

When a pedestrian is hit by a moving vehicle, even a slow-moving one, the injuries they sustain can be catastrophic. Some of the most serious injuries we process claims for on behalf of claimants here at Legal Expert are those sustained by pedestrians in road traffic accidents.

Rear End Car Accidents

Rear shunts are by far the most common type of road accident we see here at Legal Expert. Common they may be, but this does not make them harmless. Even a low-speed rear shunt can result in the driver and passengers of the vehicle shunted to suffer from whiplash. This will mean that they may be able to make car accident claims.

Roundabout Accidents

Specific types of drivers, such as learner drivers, inexperienced drivers, or drivers that have been distracted in some way, can easily cause a nasty road traffic accident at a busy roundabout in Salford. If you were injured in such an accident, Legal Expert could help you claim compensation.

What Types Of Injuries Can Be Expected After A Car Accident In Salford?

Just as there are several types of road traffic accidents that Salford accident lawyers see more often than others, there are also a number of injuries caused by road traffic accidents in Salford that are more frequently encountered, and these are covered below.

Whiplash

The single most common injury that is caused by road traffic accidents in the UK each year is whiplash. A whiplash injury can be caused by even the most trivial of road traffic accidents such as a low-speed rear shunt. However, whiplash, even a mild case, can take several weeks to heal.

Back Pain

It takes very little blunt trauma to damage the vertebrae of the upper back and neck. Additionally, the muscles in the upper back, shoulders and neck can be easily wrenched even if the victim is wearing a seatbelt at the time of the road traffic accident. Back injuries are almost as common as whiplash injuries but tend to be more serious.

Serious Injuries

Many of the car crash claims we process on behalf of our clients are based on very serious injuries. These injuries are generally life-changing and sometimes fatal. They include brain damage, loss of one or more limbs, damage to internal organs, paralysis, etc.
