About road traffic accident claims
If you are unfortunate enough to have been injured in a road traffic accident, you might want to consider a compensation claim. You can claim compensation not only for your injuries, pain and suffering (known as General Damages). But also to cover any costs or out of pocket expenses you may incur (referred to as Special Damages). Plus of course you should be compensated for any loss of earnings as a direct result of your accident.

The law offers a definition for any road traffic collision deemed as reportable. They class it as any collision involving a mechanically propelled vehicle. Be that on the road or in any public area, and which causes injury to anyone other than the driver of that vehicle.  However when it comes to being able to make a claim for personal injury following an RTA, the guidelines are a little more complex. That’s why it’s necessary to have the right team on side to help you through the process.

What to do if it happens to you.
In the UK, a road traffic accident personal injury claim typically arises when an individual sustains injuries as a result of a traffic collision, and they believe another party is at fault. To pursue such a claim, the injured party must establish that the accident was caused by the negligence or misconduct of another road user. Common examples of negligence include: reckless driving, failure to obey traffic signals, or inadequate vehicle maintenance.

The injured party typically needs to gather evidence, such as witness statements, photographs, and medical records, to support their case. It is crucial to report the incident to the police and seek medical attention promptly.

Once liability is determined, the injured party can file a personal injury claim. This is to seek compensation for medical expenses, loss of earnings, and other related damages. Legal assistance should be sought to navigate the complex process of pursuing a road traffic accident claim.

Of course we are specialists in this area. But when looking for your solicitor you should always ensure they have the right experience and accreditations. You can be assured in the knowledge that Bamber and Co Solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
