Claiming for a car accident – the right way

Car accidents are among the biggest causes of personal injury in the UK each year. Millions of people suffer personal injury following a road accident which was not their fault. Claiming compensation for those injuries can be done smoothly if you contact a reputable personal injury claims solicitor before accepting any payout.No one car accident is the same. All accidents vary to a certain degree, which means that every claim for compensation is slightly different. There is no such thing as a typical car accident.To determine whether you have a case, and to explain your legal rights, make sure you use a personal injury claims solicitor as opposed to an accident ´management´ company. Known as bloodhounds or ambulance chasers, salesmen from some disreputable companies will even attend the accident scene or hospital, to try and get your injury claim. Many of these guys work on a commission basis and will do anything to get your signature.You may be suffering trauma or stress after suffering a personal injury, and the last thing you need is more hassle from salesmen.

Liability for car accidents is often admitted at the scene of the accident, and vital information such as insurance and driver details are also exchanged. If you find yourself badly injured, and the police attend the scene, they will log all necessary details of the other driver involved. The police will also give all parties involved a producer, which is proof that the accident happened. The accident will also be logged on the national database, which is invaluable if you need certain proof after the event.When you contact a personal injury solicitor, never be afraid to ask questions. The only stupid questions are the ones not asked. After explaining the compensation claims process, your solicitor should then ask if everything is clear and that you understand the procedure.Always make sure that:

You will receive 100% of the compensation.
The personal injury solicitor works on a no win, no fee basis.
There is no cost to you when you claim.
Fees are recovered from the people at fault.
No fee is payable once the claim is settled.

Always remember that compensation for personal injury can be claimed by any passengers travelling in a vehicle involved in an accident. The passengers are not to blame, even if they are travelling in the vehicle whose driver was at fault. Providing they have visited a doctor or been to hospital, the passengers often have more rights than the drivers when claiming compensation for personal injury.

If, as the driver, you admit liability after an accident, you won´t have any success in claiming compensation, but as the passenger, you can still make a successful claim.
Certain circumstances can result in reduced compensation payments for passengers. If you get into a car with a driver you know is intoxicated, and agree to be driven by that person, your compensation payout can be substantially reduced. If you suffer personal injury after a road accident, and you are not wearing a seatbelt, the compensation can be reduced by 25%. Although some drivers admit part liability, an investigator will decide who was at fault, and by what percentage.

It is a common dilemma for passengers who suffer personal injury as a result of an accident not to want to claim against family members or friends who may have been driving. Remember that the reason your family and friends pay insurance premiums is to cover accidents and injury to anyone travelling in the vehicle. The same applies if you suffer a personal injury as a result of an accident in a taxi, bus, train or on any type of public transport. The vehicle and its´ driver will be insured to cover such incidents.If you have any doubts or questions regarding a personal injury compensation claim, speak to a personal injury solicitor, who will explain the compensation claims procedure clearly, and who will guide you through the whole process from start to finish.claim, but it´s crazy not to find out.
