Car Accident Compensation

Car accidents can happen for a number of reasons; faulty road surface, driving too fast for the conditions, human error and not paying full attention to the road are just a few of the incidences in which an accident may occur on the road. It is also often the case that a car accident can happen through the fault of another road user. If you have been injured when driving your car, we can help you make a claim for car accident compensation.

It is understandable why people enjoy using their cars so much to get around. They give a great degree of freedom to explore roads and places that public transport cannot get to. They can also get you from your door to the desired arrival destination without having to leave the car’s cabin. Unfortunately, statistics show that you are more likely to be involved in an accident when driving your car than you would be travelling by train, bus or aeroplane.

Being involved in a car accident is a scary experience but it is also one that you don’t expect to go through until it suddenly happens. The most important thing is that you remain calm and in control of the situation. Fortunately we can provide you with professional car accident compensation assistance and advice.

Car Accident Compensation Claim Steps:

There are important steps to follow in order to maximise your success in making a car accident compensation claim. These are:

  • Check that everybody in the vehicle is OK and take note of any driver or passenger injuries sustained.
  • Call the emergency services, including Police to help manage the situation on the road and take statements, as well as an ambulance if anyone has been hurt in the accident.
  • Take the details of the other vehicle(s) involved in the accident, including registration numbers, driver’s name, address and insurance contact details.
  • Make a note of when the accident occurred, i.e. what time of day and where it took place. It would help to take pictures of the area and of the damage to the vehicles involved.

Making a Claim for Car Accident Compensation

Your claim for car accident compensation will be made against the insurance company of the party who was responsible for the accident. Their third party insurance cover on their policy will cover them for any accident or injury they have caused to someone else. This means that your claim will not have a financial effect on them personally.

In the event that the person responsible does not hold insurance, or you were involved in a hit and run accident, we can also help you make a car accident compensation claim. Claims for uninsured or untraced drivers are made to the Motor Insurers' Bureau and at Injuries Direct we are experts at pursuing such claims.

Making a claim for car accident compensation with Injuries Direct is easy and won’t cost you a penny. If you have not been injured in a car accident but your vehicle has sustained damage as a result of an accident that wasn’t your fault, we may also be able to help you with our car accident recovery, repair and replacement services.

If you've been in a car accident that was not your fault and want more information then call Injuries Direct on 0800 2800 979. Alternatively fill out our Contact Form.
