Road traffic accident solicitors - When can I claim compensation? You can claim if you can prove that someone else is to blame for your accident. Most claims must be brought within three years of the accident. If the accident was more than three years ago, you may be too late, but you may still be able to make a claim.

How long will my claim take? A simple claim where responsibility is not disputed can take as little as four months. However, a claim normally takes approximately 9-12 months, but can take a number of years in the event of complex issues or injuries.

If I am unable to work, how can I pay the bills? If your employer stops paying you, then you should apply for state benefits. If the injury prevents you from working, you may also be able to claim loss of earnings. If there is no dispute about blame and there is likely to be any delay, it is usually possible to obtain an advance payment of compensation before the final amount is agreed. This is known as an interim payment.

How much compensation will I get? This depends on the extent of your injuries, which a medical report will help to assess. You can also claim for your financial losses arising from an accident. The longer your injury affects you and your ability to work, the higher the compensation.

Can you visit me at home or in hospital? Yes, we can do this if you would like us to and you feel well enough to meet with us.

How to Make Your Claim

We will investigate and advise you whether or not a claim is likely to be successful. This may include site visits, contacting witnesses, police or other involved parties. We will write to the person or organisation (or insurers) who caused the injury. We will also obtain a detailed medical report confirming the nature and extent of your injuries and any long lasting effects you may have suffered or are likely to suffer in the future. We will also prepare a detailed schedule of all the expenses that you have incurred as a result of the accident.

We will always attempt to negotiate with the other party (or their insurers), which may result in a settlement. However, if it is not possible to settle your claim, we will commence your claim in the local county court. If settlement is still not forthcoming, we will take your case to a Court hearing to determine the matter once and for all.
