Compensation claim – making a compensation claim following a car accident
Compensation claim advice and assistance is available for people who have been injured in an accident that wasn’t their fault. If you have suffered a personal injury in a car accident or motorcycle accident that was not your fault, we can help you make a car accident claim. Whether you have cuts and bruises, whiplash or a much more serious injury, we can help you make a compensation claim.
Our personal injury solicitors are experts in dealing with compensation claims and help thousands of people each year who have been injured in a non-fault accident. Our solicitors work under our ethical no win, no fee policy and you are totally protected from all costs. If our costs associated with your compensation claim are not recovered in full from the person at fault's insurance company, we will write them off. More information about our no win, no fee policy…
We have developed our service to make a compensation claim as straightforward as possible. This is what you can expect when you contact us to make a car accident claim:
- On receiving your instructions, our solicitors will begin to set out your case for your 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 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 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 compensation claim.
- You will be sent a Personal Injury Compensation Questionnaire to complete, covering every aspect of your 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 compensation claim and help our solicitors put a realistic figure on your compensation claim.

- Once all the information required to support your compensation claim has been gathered, your claim will be passed to a claim negotiator, who is responsible for securing the best possible amount 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 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 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 compensation claim is to be settled at, it may be necessary to issue Court proceedings. Whilst the majority of car accident 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 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 compensation claim. More information about our ethical no win, no fee policy…
Our service is cost-free and without-risk – no win, no fee
Your compensation claim will be dealt with our ethical no win, no fee policy, which protects you from all costs and legal fees if you lose your compensation claim. Our policy is also to protect our clients from all costs and fees, if they win their case. Unlike some solicitors, who may take a deduction from your compensation claim, ask you for a payment upfront to fund your case, or sell you an expensive insurance policy to protect you from costs, our service is totally cost-free as all our solicitor fees will be recovered from the person who caused the car accident. In the event that these costs cannot be recovered in full, they will be written off.
We can also help you recover losses and expenses you have incurred as a result of the car accident, such as your insurance excess (if you decide to claim on your own policy for the damage to your vehicle), loss of earnings, taxi fares, phone bills or any other costs you have incurred as a result of the accident. Our service won't cost you a penny. If your car accident claim is successful all costs are recovered from the other party. If you lose your compensation claim is unsuccessful, then all costs are written off. More about our no win, no fee policy…
