In the UK, all vehicles are required to be insured by law however even if a vehicle is not insured a road traffic accident solicitor can still make a claim for compensation to the Motor Insurers Bureau. If you have been involved in an accident and can prove that somebody else was at fault, you are legally entitled to make a compensation claim. Your claim will usually be settled peacefully by the insurers for the negligent party but in some cases it may need legal action in a court of law to resolve the case. The time limit for making a case in court is three years after the accident.

In order to make a successful claim, it is important to provide your road traffic accident solicitor with all relevant evidence to support your case. Details of the incident should be recorded in detail. The names and contact details of all parties involved, including those of any witness, should be noted down. Other necessary information includes the date, time and place. An urgent visit to a doctor or an A & E department is an essential part of proving a claim. It is also advisable to photograph the location, damage to the vehicles and any injuries.

If you have sustained an injury following a collision that was due to the negligent behaviour of another person a road traffic accident solicitor will be able to claim damages to compensate for the pain and suffering you have experienced along with any loss of money you have incurred. Your compensation may be subject to a deduction if it was partly your fault but even when this is the case it is often still worth making a claim. We understand that money can never fully compensate for pain and suffering however it can help improve the quality of life for the victim. Claims for passengers will almost always succeed no matter which vehicle they were travelling in even if the negligent driver was a close relative.

Compensation is categorised into two groups - namely ‘general damages’ and ‘special damages’. The sums awarded for general damages are more difficult to calculate and usually involve a degree of assessment whereas special damages can be calculated with mathematical accuracy. Special damages include compensation for pain and suffering and general damages include compensation for wages losses and damage to property. General damages are usually proven by written evidence including receipts and estimates for specific lost or damaged items. Pay slips and wage forms are used to help show loss of earnings due to injury.
