Personal Injury
Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) are one of the most common causes of serious personal injury. If you have been unfortunate enough to have been involved in a car accident, motorbike accident or any other road traffic accident then our specialist team can assist you with a possible claim.
Our experienced team understands the complexities that come with making these claims and are used to dealing with cases in which liability is hard to prove, or where the party has suffered serious injuries. We regularly deal with cases where the other party initially denies fault but we are able to prove some or all liability at a later date.
Often when people are seriously injured it is important to secure them access to rehabilitation services as soon as possible to ensure that they make as full a recovery as possible. Our contact with providers means that we already have relationships with the people or organisations that provide these services. Our relationships built with rehabilitation providers over a number of years ensure that the appropriate support can be put in place as soon as possible. It is possible to obtain some of your compensation early in order to fund rehabilitation. We are very experienced in obtaining these payments and have a high success ratio for our clients. Our case handlers are sympathetic and understanding of their client’s needs but will also have the necessary fight to ensure that their claim is settled for the maximum level of damages possible.
Unlike many other firms, we carefully select the medical experts who work on your claim to ensure that you get the same high standard of work from them as you do from us.
If you have suffered a serious injury at the hands of an uninsured motorist or an untraceable motorist in a hit and run, you are likely still to have a claim. The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), under the “Uninsured/Untraced Drivers Agreement”, will deal with the claim. The MIB have strict rules and deadlines that we are very experienced in dealing with so it is vital that you seek our advice in this difficult area of law. We can also act for you if you wish to make a claim against a driver who does not reside in England or Wales; again this area of law is complex so it is important to instruct a specialist firm.
We do not charge for dealing with initial enquiries even if we do not take the claim on. This way you can be safe in the knowledge that you can receive expert legal advice about your accident without committing to any obligations regarding fees. If we consider that you have a claim which is likely to be successful then we can offer you a “no win no fee” agreement.
If you would like to discuss a potential road traffic accident claim please contact us on 01273 249200 for a free no obligation discussion. We are happy to visit seriously injured clients at home or in hospital.
If you have been involved in a car accident as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, we are here to help you with your road traffic accident claim to help to prove liability for your personal injuries. See more personal injury FAQ’s here.
Compensation is awarded to the injured party by calculating a sum for pain, suffering and loss of amenity in what’s known as general damages. You will also be awarded for special damages which includes financial losses in any earnings, care costs and such forth. See more personal injury FAQ’s here.
