Car Accident?
FREE Claim Assessment

There are many health consequences of a car accident beyond cuts and bruises or broken bones. The most common injury sustained in a car accident is whiplash – which accounts for over 75 per cent of all car accident claims for compensation. Although frequently temporary and inconvenient, whiplash injuries have the potential to lead to long term health issues if not treated quickly after a car accident. A spinal injury other than whiplash or bang to the head in the course of the car accident may also have serious consequences to future health.

Because of the psychological trauma which is often caused by a car accident– irrespective of the physical injuries – you may be unable to work for several weeks after a car collision. Claiming car accident compensation for both physical and psychological injuries can be vital for car accident victims, as the funds will be needed for medical treatment and to cover the cost of any out of pocket expenses and loss of earnings.

Get Immediate Medical Attention After a Car Accident

In the event of a serious car accident, an ambulance and the police would normally attend the scene. You must speak to the police and make a report of the accident, although this can be done at a later date if your injuries are severe and need immediate treatment. Even if you feel perfectly okay after a car accident, you should always attend a doctor´s surgery or the accident and emergency department of your local hospital for a precautionary x-ray and check-up. You will need to ensure that no permanent damage has been done. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, which is why you need to get professional medical attention as a matter of course. Your attendance at a hospital or doctors will be noted in your medical records – an important consideration if you later decide to claim compensation for the injuries sustained in your car accident.

Claiming Compensation for a Car Accident

If the car accident in which you were involved was not entirely your fault, you should be entitled to claim compensation for any injuries sustained. Irrespective of the seriousness of your injuries, you will also have suffered a level of inconvenience and trauma, and these can be compensated for if you make a legal claim. In more severe cases, long term hospitalisation and extensive rehabilitation will lead to a loss of earnings and possibly even a permanent disability – which although an extreme example, does happen quite frequently in head on car accidents.

Therefore it is essential when you have been involved in a car accident where another driver was to blame that you have professional legal representation. Using a specialist car accident compensation solicitor to pursue your case will enable you to claim your full entitlement to compensation and should increase the chances of success significantly. A solicitor will conduct a full analysis of your case, will calculate how much compensation you can claim and will factor in all aspects of your injuries to ensure you get a full and fair compensation settlement.

Car Accident Claims and No Win No Fee Solicitors

If you watch television or read the weekend papers, you will no doubt have seen advertisements for No Win No Fee solicitors. No Win No Fee solicitors will take on a claim and will not charge a fee unless they are able to win your case. Car accident claims often qualify for No Win No Fee representation, especially if the evidence against the negligent party is particularly strong and there is a good chance of a successful outcome to the claim.

What the advertisements do not tell you, is that while a No Win No Fee claim will ‘not cost you a penny in legal fees’, a No Win No Fee claim is not necessarily free of charge. Under UK claims law, an unsuccessful claim for car accident compensation will see the claimant liable to pay for the legal costs of the defence. Even under a No Win No Fee claim, a solicitor cannot waive third party legal costs.

When you call our car accident claims helpline for advice, we will advise you whether you can claim on a No Win No Fee basis, and will tell you about the costs that are involved in making a legal claim for car accident compensation. We will also explain your options about taking out insurance to make sure that, should it not be possible to win your claim, third party defence costs are covered and paid for. If your claim is successful, the policy premiums, together with our legal fees and expenses, should be paid in full by the defence; in addition to the car accident compensation settlement award.

Calls to Our Car Accident Claims Helpline

When you call our car accident claims helpline, you will be speaking directly with a personal injury claims solicitor who is experienced in helping victims of car accidents claim their full entitlement to car accident injury compensation. Our solicitor will listen while you explain how the car accident occurred, what damages were sustained to both you and your vehicle, and what treatment you have received for your injuries.

If an insurance company has already made an offer to settle, this is a good opportunity to discuss whether it is a sufficient amount of money to compensate you for your car accident. It is a good idea to advise our solicitor about any financial consequences of your car accident – such as time away from your work. This will help us to determine whether the offer of settlement is fair and adequate. Just because a car accident settlement offer may appear to be high initially, it does not mean that it should be accepted. You may actually be entitled to claim considerably more, and in our experience this is usually the case.

Our solicitor will be able to advise you whether he feels that there is a claim for compensation which is worth your while to pursue. He will also explain to you the procedures involved and how long the case should take to settle. If you believe that the options presented to you are the best way forward you can instruct the solicitor to start to prepare a claim, but you are under no obligation to do so and can take your time to make that decision.
