A road traffic accident claim is a type of personal injury claim initiated when you have suffered injury or financial loss due to a collision that was the fault of another road user. The law allows you to seek road traffic accident compensation claims to cover your physical recovery, damaged property, and other associated expenses. As specialist road traffic accident claims solicitors, we focus on establishing negligence and obtaining maximum compensation on your behalf. We handle all types of incidents, including those involving uninsured drivers (via the Motor Insurers’ Bureau) and hit-and-run accidents.

When handling your road traffic accident claims, our expert solicitors will apply to receive interim damages to cover your immediate financial needs. As experts in our field, we aim to get you the best compensation agreement possible.
Compensation can help cover medical expenses, lost income, and the effects of pain or stress caused by the accident. It can also provide financial support while you recover.
In most cases, you must start your claim within three years of the accident. However, it is advisable to get in touch much sooner. Exceptions include cases involving children or people with mental difficulties.
The duration depends primarily on two factors: the severity of your injuries and whether the other party admits liability. Simple cases with minor injuries could settle within a few months. More serious injuries take longer as additional medical evidence is needed to accurately assess the full impact.
If the other party denies liability, resolution may be delayed until any related criminal case concludes. If the accident involved a hit-and-run where the driver couldn’t be identified, the claims process may also take longer.
Interim damages are payments that our expert solicitors can secure to cover your immediate financial needs, such as when you are out of work or have medical requirements not covered by the NHS.
