If our costs associated with your car accident compensation claim are not recovered in full from the person at fault's insurance company, we will write them off.

We have developed our service to make a claim for car accident compensation as straightforward as possible. This is what you can expect when you contact us to make a car accident compensation claim:
- On receiving your instructions, our solicitors will begin to set out your case for your car accident compensation claim against the other person, based upon the information you provide us. A ‘Letter of Claim’ will be sent to the other person’s car insurance company, giving notice that you intend to pursue a car accident compensation claim against them for an injury caused in a car accident due to their client’s negligence.
- A claims collator will start compiling the information needed to put your car accident compensation claim together. This may include getting witness statements, police reports, vehicle engineer’s reports and other information relevant to the car accident, which will later be used as evidence to support your car accident compensation claim.
- You will be sent a Personal Injury Compensation Questionnaire to complete, covering every aspect of your car accident compensation claim, to ensure you are compensated fully for everything you are entitled to.
- Our solicitor will arrange for you to see an independent medical expert. They will prepare a report regarding the extent of your injuries and your recovery and any on-going or long-term symptoms. The purpose of this report is to provide independent evidence to support your car accident compensation claim and help our solicitors put a realistic figure on the amount of car accident compensation to be claimed.

- Once all the information required to support your personal injury claim has been gathered, your car accident compensation claim will be passed to a claim negotiator, who is responsible for securing the best possible amount of car accident compensation for you.
- A ‘Schedule of Losses’ will be put together which details all the financial losses (heads of claim) that you are making a car accident compensation claim for.
These may include:
- Pain, suffering and loss of amenity
- Loss of earning/overtime
- Care damage to personal effects
- Cost of medication/prescriptions
- Miscellaneous expenses
This will be sent to the other person’s car insurance company, with a request for the car accident compensation claim to be settled.
In cases where responsibility (liability) for the car accident is in dispute (both sides are holding the other party to blame), or where agreement cannot be reached as to the amount the car accident compensation claim is to be settled at, it may be necessary to issue Court proceedings. Whilst the majority of car accident compensation claims are settled without the need to go to Court, if agreement can’t be reached it may be necessary to pursue your car accident compensation claim to trial.
At all stages your case will be conducted without any financial outlay or risk to yourself. If our solicitors are unable to recover their fees and costs from the other party’s insurance company they will write them off. Win or lose you will not be liable for any charges and no deductions will be made from your car accident compensation. More information about our ethical no win, no fee policy…

In the event that these costs cannot be recovered in full, they will be written off.
