When you have been hurt in a road traffic accident for which you were not to blame, you may be entitled to sue for car injury compensation. Fortunately, due to advances made in car safety technology in recent years, car crashes leading to fatal car injuries are not as numerous as they once were – down 41% in the last decade according to the Road Safety Authority. However, this may be of small consequence to you when you have just been hit from behind by the inattentive driver of another vehicle and are now suffering from a car injury such as whiplash or worse.
In the event of serious road traffic accidents the Gardai will attend, as well as an ambulance to attend to your injuries sustained in the car crash. In less severe collisions, they maintain a policy of allowing the drivers to sort the situation out between themselves, however, even if you believe that the car injuries you have sustained are minor, you should still visit a hospital or doctor’s surgery to have a medical check-up as some symptoms from car injuries can be late to develop.
Making a Compensation Claim for Car Injuries
One other important piece of advice if you are considering making a claim for car injury compensation, is to report to your local Gardai station once your health has received priority, and have the accident recorded in the Road Traffic Accident Report Book. If your car injuries have been relatively slight, you will have been able to exchange names, insurance details and car registration numbers with the other driver(s), and having the incident officially recorded will support your claim for car injuries alongside your medical records.
Car injury compensation claims are frequently straightforward when the inattentive driver has admitted liability. However they should ideally be pursued with the assistance a solicitor familiar with compensation claims for car injuries if you intend to claim damages for additional elements such as loss of earnings, out of pocket expenses and emotional trauma. Solicitors are also useful sources of information when it comes to establishing a fair and adequate settlement for your car injuries, and ensure that you do not receive an insufficient amount from the negligent party´s insurance company.
