The majority of us travel in motor vehicles several times a day. The likelihood of being involved in a road traffic accident is therefore unfortunately high.

The repercussions of an accident can be minimal, but they can also be far-reaching. For example, a simple car accident can result in just damage to your vehicle. A moderate road accident can result in damage to the parties' vehicles and some minor bodily injuries. A serious accident can result in severe bodily injuries and possibly even a fatality.

If you are injured in a road traffic accident, then you may be entitled to compensation.

The compensation you will receive will of course depend on the severity of your injuries. A whiplash type injury with a few weeks of symptoms can be worth between £750.00 and £2,550.00.

You may also be entitled to be compensated in respect of out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of the accident. This could include, for example, compensation in respect of lost earnings, travel expenses, payments for painkillers / medical treatment, damaged clothing and/or personal property, etc.

Claims need to be commenced within certain time periods, running from the date of the accident.

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident and have suffered losses and/or a bodily injury, you may be able to submit a claim for recovery of your losses / compensation for your road accident claims

It may be prudent to contact a specialist solicitor who can advise on the merits of your particular claim on a true no win, no fee* basis.
