How Can Road Traffic Accident Solicitors Help My Claim?

Road traffic accident solicitors can help with your claim by handling paperwork, gathering evidence on your behalf, and negotiating a settlement that reflects your pain, suffering, and financial loss. In particular, our panel of road traffic accident solicitors can:

• Assess your compensation: Following a case check with our advisors, a solicitor can review the details of your injuries and financial losses to ensure your claim fully reflects how you’ve been affected.
• Explain liability: Our panel of road traffic accident solicitors have a deep understanding of the rules and regulations that govern British roads. They can use this knowledge to determine who might be liable for your injuries, and explain your options if you share responsibility for them or the accident itself.
• Help gather evidence: Our panel of solicitors have extensive experience helping their clients gather the evidence they need. This can involve obtaining CCTV footage, medical records, police reports, and eyewitness statements.
• Arrange a medical assessment: Your solicitor can organise an independent medical evaluation on your behalf to document the extent and nature of your injuries. The findings of this assessment can be used as evidence to strengthen your claim.
• Handle communication: A solicitor can act as your main point of contact, ensuring you don’t have any direct contact with an insurer, the defendant, or their representatives. They will also represent you during negotiations, the stage of a claim where each party tries to reach an agreement on compensation.
• Prepare for a court hearing: In the rare event that the claim goes to court, a road traffic accident solicitor can prepare the case and help instruct a barrister for the hearing. However, it’s important to stress that most claims settle out of court.

What Types Of Road Traffic Claims Can A Solicitor Help Me With?

A solicitor from our panel can help you with many types of road traffic claims, including those involving accidents with cars, cyclists, pedestrians, and passengers.

Car Accident Claims

Our panel of solicitors frequently handle car accident claims, typically involving rear-end, head-on, and T-bone collisions. These types of accidents can occur because of speeding, impaired driving, or travelling under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Cyclist Accident Claims

Due to the lack of protection afforded to riders, cycling accident claims often feature multiple serious injuries. This can range from broken bones to head injuries, amputations, and spinal damage.

Pedestrian Accident Claims

Similar to cases involving cyclists, pedestrian accident claims can result in serious physical and psychological injuries. They often occur on zebra or pelican crossings, as well as in car parks and on roadsides.

Passenger Accident Claims

Depending on the circumstances, passenger accident claims can be directed against a third-party road user or the driver of the vehicle you were inside. In addition to private cars, this type of claim frequently covers accidents involving taxis, buses, coaches, and motorcycles.

Accidents With Uninsured Or Untraceable Drivers

For accidents with uninsured or untraceable drivers, you can pursue a claim through the non-profit organisation, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). A solicitor from our panel can help you navigate the MIB claims process and ensure your case is as strong as possible.

Split Liability Claims

Split liability claims arise when 2 parties contribute to an accident, with compensation payouts based on each party’s degree of responsibility. If you claim with one of the solicitors from our panel, they can help you gather the evidence needed to establish the extent of fault for the accident. 

Please note that the above list is not exhaustive, and road traffic claims can take many forms. To learn more about how one of the road traffic accident solicitors making up our panel could help with your specific situation, please get in touch today.

How Solicitors Help Maximise Road Traffic Accident Compensation

Solicitors can help to maximise road traffic accident compensation by using their expertise to value a claimant’s injuries, assess their financial losses, and ensure this impact is reflected in negotiations with the defendant’s representatives. This typically involves:

Proving Liability

Evidence is essential for proving another road user’s liability for causing your injuries through their negligent actions (or failure to act). A solicitor can improve your chances of getting a higher payout by helping to photograph the scene of the accident and your injuries, as well as obtaining a copy of your medical records and dashcam or CCTV footage where possible.

Giving Expert Guidance On Initial Offers

A specialist road traffic accident solicitor who is familiar with the process can give expert guidance on whether an insurer’s initial offer is fair. Often, the initial offer is made before medical evidence has been made available, so the amount tends to lean towards the lower end. As such, a solicitor will use their expertise to value your claim and ensure any compensation payout reflects this.

Assessing Special Damages

When assessing special damages, the head of loss covering an injury’s financial impact, your solicitor can help you identify and document the out-of-pocket losses you’ve suffered. These costs often include loss of earnings, medical expenses, and the costs of care, home adaptations, and rehabilitation.

Special damages can only be included in a claim if there is evidence of the financial losses. Therefore, your solicitor will do what they can to help you obtain receipts, bank statements, invoices, and other financial documentation.

Accounting For Long-Term Impacts

Your solicitor can also ensure that your road traffic claim accounts for the long-term impacts of your injuries, such as a future loss of earnings or the out-of-pocket costs you may incur because of a disability. Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, this might include the cost of a dedicated carer, physiotherapy sessions, and counselling.
