Claiming Injury After A Car Accident

Car accident claims are some of the most common claims in the UK. Thousands of road users suffer injury in a car accident every year and are eligible to make a claim as a result.

Many road traffic accidents occur at high speeds, often resulting in serious injury and life-changing long-term effects. The law is there to protect the victims of car accidents. If you suffer an injury that
isn’t your fault following a car accident, then you can hold those responsible to account.

Due to the nature of car accidents, many are caused by reckless driving, speeding, or poor road conditions. If you are hurt because of a car crash or accident, you could be entitled to car accident compensation in line with the severity of your injuries. Our dedicated solicitors provide helpful, actionable legal advice to all our clients.

This ensures that you get the compensation and rehabilitation that they deserve.

    Claims Process: What Should You Do After a Car Accident?

    road traffic accident alternate

    Following a car accident, your number one priority should be the safety of yourself and others. However, if you or a loved one has been injured, gathering as much evidence as possible to support your car accident claim is crucial.

    The registration of the other driver is important when making a claim. This is often used to identify the driver. In the age of smartphones, taking pictures at the scene can be very useful for solicitors. Images related to the cause of the incident (road conditions, broken traffic lights, etc.), vehicle damage, or injuries sustained should be provided wherever possible.

    If you believe the incident was caused by negligence and resulted in serious injury, we advise you to call the police to file a report.

    With over 50 years of experience dealing with personal injury cases, our lawyers are exceptionally well-versed in lodging successful personal injury claims.

    At Tinsdills, we pride ourselves on offering a different kind of service to other personal injury law firms. We put the people first. We prioritise working with our clients, examining all evidence to build the strongest possible case for them.

    How can Tinsdills help me after a car accident?

    Our priority is to help you return to your life as it was before the accident. We will do whatever we can to get you the help and rehabilitation that you need to achieve this. We will talk you through the claims process in plain, easy-to-understand English. We are always on the end of the phone, ready to receive your emails, or available to meet and discuss any questions you might have.

    What if the driver that hits me is uninsured?

    If the other driver or vehicle involved in your accident is uninsured, then you can still make a claim. The process is slightly different as the claim is submitted to the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB), but we can discuss this with you in detail and explain the process clearly.
