Road Traffic Accidents

If you have been injured in a road traffic accident, which wasn’t your fault, then you will be entitled to claim compensation. We can claim compensation for you if you were the driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist or motor cyclist.

Utilisising the correct expert for your injury and relying on the experience and expertise of our claims team we aim to recover the maximum compensation possible for our clients.

We won't talk to you with legal jargon and we will keep things as clear, simple and straightforward as possible. Our service will cost you nothing as we will act for you on a “no win – no fee” basis and upon successful conclusion of your claim we will recover your legal fees from the responsible party’s insurers. To give you complete protection and ease of mind we can also arrange legal expense insurance if it is necessary.

The usual types of items that we can claim for you will be;

  • Cost of repair to your vehicle
  • Insurance Policy Excess
  • Replacement Hire Car charges
  • Loss of use of a vehicle
  • Travel Expenses
  • Recovery and Storage Charges
  • Medical Expenses
  • Damaged Clothing or Damaged Items in the vehicle
  • Loss of Earnings
  • Care and Assistance ( where someone has to help you or look after you following an accident)
  • and , of course , compensation for the Injury that you suffered.

Even if you are a victim of an uninsured or untraced motorist you may still persue a claim through one of the Motor Insurance Bureaus schemes. This can often be complicated, let our experience help simplify and guide you through what can be a difficult process.

Catastrophic and very serious injuries.

These types of cases require a particular approach. Such cases must be handled from the outset with skill ,care and sensitivity . We recognise that if you or a member of your family has suffered serious spinal or brain injuries as a result of an accident, it is devastating and you may feel that your and their life has been destroyed.

We understand the difficulties that can be faced by the person injured and their family.

We are not only experienced in handling substantial compensation claims but we also recognise that obtaining a payment of compensation is only a part of our role. We can offer practical advice and assistance on issues like the provision of suitable care, rehabilitation, housing, benefits and education.

Rehabilitation is particularly important in spinal and brain injury claims to help rebuild independence and provide options to improve quality of lifestyle.

Experience shows that that the sooner rehabilitation starts the better the prospects for improvement so we always consider whether interim payments of compensation can be obtained to meet the cost and to relieve any financial hardship.

If you or a member of your family have suffered a catastrophic injury then you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
