Road traffic accident claims

Were you involved in a road traffic accident that wasn't your fault? Whether it was a car, taxi or even a pedestrian incident, if someone else's mistakes or reckless driving caused the accident, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye – statistics show that there were 132,977 road traffic casualties in 2023 – and the injuries they cause can sometimes be life-altering. Whatever the severity of your injuries, if you've been involved in an accident like this, we'll lead you through the road accident claim process.

If you've been injured as a driver, a passenger, cyclist or pedestrian, you might be suffering from a variety of injuries which could include:

• Back and spinal cord injuries.
• Cuts, bruises, and abrasions.
• Head and brain injuries.
• Internal injuries.
• Fractures and broken bones.
• Loss of limbs or amputation.

Unfortunately, you can't get an exact figure right off the bat, as the amount you could potentially claim depends on a few factors, including:

• The type and severity of your injury.
• How long your recovery will take.
• Medical and travel expenses.
• Lost income due to time off work.
• Any lifestyle changes caused by your injury.
• Ongoing care needs or necessary home adaptations.

When you have your initial chat with our team, they'll let you know whether you may be eligible to claim, as well as a rough estimate. Then, once through to our panel of expert road traffic accident solicitors, they'll advice you how much you may be owed and fight to win your case.

My goal is to make claiming compensation as simple and straight-forward as possible. Here's a guide on how to make your claim:

1. Get quick, free advice
   Start by giving our team a call for a free, no-strings-attached chat. We'll give you honest advice, so you know exactly where you stand. There's never any pressure to make a decision right away, it's up to you whether or not to put forward your road accident claim.
2. Connect with a legal team
   If it looks like you have a valid claim, and you want to proceed, we'll connect you with a specialist road accident lawyer from our panel. They are experts in handling these types of claims, so you'll have the right legal support to guide you through the entire process.
3. Digging up the details
   Your legal team will work to gather all the necessary evidence to support your case, from medical records to eyewitness statements.
4. Sending off your claim
   Once all the evidence is collected, your legal team will officially send your claim to the other party. This is the formal notification that you're pursuing compensation for your accident.
5. Negotiating your compensation
   After your claim is submitted, your solicitor or legal team will go to work, negotiating tirelessly to secure a fair settlement. They won't settle for less than what you deserve.
6. Taking it to court (if necessary)
   While many RTA claims are settled without needing to go to court, that isn't always the case. When necessary, your legal team will fight your case in court. They might be able to do this on your behalf, but if you need to attend, they'll be by your side every step of the way.
7. Receiving your compensation
   If your claim is successful, you'll receive the compensation you're entitled to. If you've agreed to a no win no fee arrangement, the pre-agreed fees will be taken from your compensation amount. If you don't win, you won't have to pay a penny (as long as you've kept to the terms of your agreement).
