We understand that being in an accident can be very traumatizing and making a claim for compensation might seem daunting. However, winning compensation for someone else’s negligence in causing a road traffic accident can play an important role in getting your life back on track, enabling you to access any medical treatment or rehabilitation you need, make adjustments to your home and lifestyle, and offsetting any loss in income over the short or long term. Our expert personal injury lawyers are here to explain your rights and options and to handle every aspect of the claim process so that you can focus on recovering. We will help you secure the resources you need, whether that means medical treatment, financial compensation, or both.
We provide a comprehensive road traffic accident claims service, including operating on a no win, no fee basis.
Tragically, almost 30,000 people are killed or seriously injured in road traffic accidents across the UK each year. While most road traffic accidents are minor many can cause serious life-changing injuries and some are fatal. The Road Traffic Act 1999 means you can claim compensation for a traffic accident that wasn’t your fault. However, to give you the best chance of successfully claiming compensation it must be clear who caused the accident.
As well as obtaining compensation for your injuries our road traffic accident specialists can help you claim for any loss of earnings – now or in the future – caused by your injuries, and for the cost of your medical care and/or surgery on a private basis and vehicle repair or replacement. There may be other costs that we can also recover. We will help you claim for everything you’re entitled to.
You can speak to our road traffic accident specialists about your situation and injuries over the phone, virtually or we can arrange a face-to-face meeting – whatever suits you best. We will provide some initial free advice to help you decide whether to proceed with a claim. If you do decide to make a claim, we will guide you through every step of the legal process and ensure that you get the medical assessments you need to obtain the best outcome for you.
Many road traffic accident claims we support are handled on a no win, no fee basis, which means:

You usually have up to three years from the date of the accident or knowing about the injury to start a road traffic accident claim. There are some exceptions, such as if you no longer have the capacity to manage your affairs, and we will advise you about these when we speak. We recommend that you contact us as soon as possible, so our personal injury lawyers can explain the process of claiming compensation, start your claim and help you access any other support you need.
Every road traffic accident is different and so is its impact on you. That’s why it is important to get expert advice from qualified specialist lawyers who really understand the unique nature of each personal injury claim and who are experienced in working with medical professionals to truly understand the impact of your injuries and how these may affect you in the long term.
The amount you can claim will depend on a number of factors, including the severity of your injury, any financial losses you have suffered or will suffer in the future, and any changes to your lifestyle that you have to make as a result of your injuries. Whatever the injury, our specialist personal injury lawyers will ensure that you get the compensation and support you are entitled to.
