UK CAR ACCIDENT CLAIMS ADVICE

If the other driver or his insurers admit liability (that is, that they were responsible), then you should receive compensation at an early stage. If however, the other driver denies liability, then your compensation case is likely to proceed to a court hearing. If an accident is partially the fault of both drivers, as is often the case, then liability in car accident claims can still be established on the basis of 'contributory negligence' and a partial award will be paid dependent on the degree of responsibility for the accident attributed to either side.

Injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions including head-on collisions, rear-end collisions, side-impact collisions or roll-over collisions can be extremely serious considering the nature of the impact and the forces that may be involved. Multiple impacts and multiple injuries including trauma to the head, neck, chest, spine, pelvis and abdominal areas are not uncommon. Catastrophic injuries such as brain damage, paraplegia or quadriplegia may be devastating for the individual (not just physically, but emotionally) and extremely difficult for family and friends to deal with especially if they are faced with the responsibility of having to care for their injured loved-one on a long-term basis.

If you have suffered a personal injury we can help you with car accident claims for compensation if you were :-

• injured as a result of another person’s negligent driving
• injured as a result of a defective road - the Highway Authority may be responsible for causing your accident in this scenario
• injured as a result of negligence by a pedestrian or cyclist, however it may not be worth suing them, as unlike drivers of motor vehicles, they are not required to carry insurance and may not have the funds to pay for your compensation.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

• injuries and disabilities
• pain and suffering
• loss of income if you are unable to work
• cost of gratuitous domestic assistance and attendant care provided by family members
