Car Accident Claims for Compensation
As one of the leading car accident claims management companies in the UK, we can offer immediate and expert legal guidance for UK residents looking to claim for car crash compensation.
Call us today on our helpline number – 01252354433^ – for a no win no fee * personal injury consultation.
In line with FCA Regulations, you are entitled – if you fulfil the necessary criteria – to make a claim for injury arising from a motor accident in the UK to the Claims Portal. You do not need to instruct a solicitor and can submit a claim free of charge. Our panel solicitors will charge a fee for providing advice and submitting your claim. This fee may be up to 25% of the claim value plus VAT. We will be able to inform you in more detail when you enquire on 01252354433^.
What to Do If You’ve Been Involved In A Car Accident
If you have been injured in a car accident and need guidance on what steps to take for your claim, then please follow our easy-to-read guide. If the car crash was not your fault, and a third party was responsible, then it is very likely that you will be able to claim car accident compensation.
It doesn’t matter whether you were driving, or were a passenger, or perhaps even a pedestrian, you will still be able to take car accident claims guidance from our solicitors **. They will help you claim back medical expenses, lost income, and any other financial losses that can be attributed to the accident.
To stand the best chance of receiving the maximum amount possible for a personal injury claim then we suggest you take the following steps immediately, where possible, to make the strongest case for a personal injury claim.
Contacting the Police is Invaluable for Supporting Car Accident Claims
This is where many people lose out – the car accident claim process is made a lot simpler if the police know about it. Whilst in serious cases, the police will always be present, in minor accidents, some potential claimants fail to call the police. By having a police log of the incident, you stand a much better chance of being able to claim personal injury compensation.
This means that you will be able to get an official copy of the police report, which will have all the essential details in it that our solicitors ** will need in order to pursue your personal injury claim successfully. In most cases, the report will state who was responsible for the crash – establishing blame is an essential part of the legal process.
Make Notes and Take Photographs of the Accident
Where possible, take notes of the incident; as much information as is humanly possible. Some aspects of the accident might not seem important at the time, but small details can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing car accident claims. Also make sure you hold on to any receipts for expenses that may have been incurred.
Having photos of the accident and surroundings, plus details of witnesses, is also key. Here are what we suggest you do, even with just camera on your phone:
- Photograph the scene of the accident and any vehicles involved
- Take a photo of any injuries that you suffered at the time of accident
Notes to take, and documentation to keep in order to assist the car accident claims process:
- Medical records, including x-rays and hospital admission notes
- Receipts and medical prescriptions
- Note down any costs, including taxi and vehicle hire expenses
- An official letter of absence from your work including loss of wages
Some people who we have represented in car accident claims have even kept diaries immediately after the accident. This could include trips to the doctor, hospital visits, and phone calls with their employer. By tagging receipts to each entry you can also keep a log which could lead to an increased compensation amount.
During the claims process, we also suggest that you keep a record of how you are feeling from an emotional perspective each day. Psychological damage is a key part of any personal injury claim in the UK. This can help to make your case a lot stronger, and could mean an increased compensation amount for any accident claim that you make with us.
Talk to a Personal Injury Solicitor Specialising in Car Crash Claims
This is the point that you would need to call our helpline. In the immediate aftermath of a car accident, you should seek guidance. By talking to us, we can assess your claim and then pass you onto a personal injury solicitor ** who is an expert in claiming for personal injury compensation.
We suggest you seek legal representation for your claim for a number of different reasons, and are all valid reasons to have a personal injury solicitor **. For example, by having our experts at your side, it’s unlikely that the opposing car insurance companies will dismiss you with a derisory initial offer, which they will hope that you accept.
Car Crash Claims – Success Stories
Over the last decade, we have helped thousands of claimants to successfully win car accident claims. Many of them have got in touch with us due to our car accident claims calculator. Here is just a short selection of some examples where we have helped people living in the UK.
Example Case #1 – Driver Offered Derisory Insurance Pay Out
In our first example case, our claimant was offered just £75 in car crash compensation from the insurance company of another driver who crashed into his lorry. Our solicitors ** took the case on and ended up winning a four-figure sum personal injury settlement for the client. In this case, you can see that it’s not always a good idea to accept an insurance pay out before you speak to our team.
Many insurance companies attempt to settle out of court quickly with smaller compensation amounts. You might think this sounds good at the time, but our experience tells us that you should never settle for this. With our personal injury solicitors at your side, and representing you, there’s every chance that you can receive a far higher payout amount.
Example Case #2 – Swift Payment for Whiplash Medical Costs
In a more recent example, our client was shunted from behind with such force that she suffered serious whiplash from the car accident. She called our team to discuss a claim for car accident compensation and received immediate payments to help finance physiotherapy medical costs. In this example, it just goes to show the worth in claiming right away for your injuries. If you have been involved in a similar scenario, then you can read more about our whiplash claims process.

The Types of Car Accident Claims We Can Cover
The following list of examples of injuries sustained in car accidents is by no means exhaustive. However, as certain types of injuries are more common, it gives a good indication of the type of car crash claims that we have covered, or can cover with new claimants.
Due to the speeds and risks involved on the UK’s roads, vehicle accidents can lead to a wide variety of injuries, ranging from the minor to the serious.
Brain and Head Injuries in Car Accident Claims:
Being involved in a high speed vehicle crash can lead to a variety of closed head injuries. This can mean anything from concussion, to more serious brain trauma. Many people involved in crashes might not immediately exhibit any signs of injury (for example a cut or bruise) but because the brain can be shaken inside the skull it can become damaged.
We work with some of the country’s leading head injury claims solicitors **.
Neck Injury Claims:
One of the most common parts of the body that is affected by car accidents is the neck. Many claimants who call us will have suffered from whiplash or neck strains, but can also be impacted by more serious neck injuries such as disc damage or cervical radiculopathy.
Back Injury Claims:
Most accidents will occur at high speeds. Because of the impact, the pressure on victims’ backs can be very severe, leading to injury types, such as:
- strains
- sprains
- fractures
- spinal injury
- lumbar spine injury
- lumbar radiculopathy
- thoracic spine injury
- disc displacement
- lumbar spine injury
Back injuries cannot always be apparent immediately. Victims will often not experience any pain in the immediate aftermath of a crash, but instead suffer days, weeks, months, and years into the future. Because of this, it’s imperative that you let us help to arrange a medical consultation as part of our back injury claims process.
Facial Injury Claims:
Car accidents will often lead to injuries to the face area. This is due to flying glass, impact with a steering wheel, airbag impact, or seat compression. An injury to your face could be a cut, bruise, or breaks and fractures. Many claimants have also suffered from jaw fractures – and we’ve been able to assist them in claiming for car accident claims in most cases.
Psychological Injury Claims:
Being involved in a road traffic accident is a very frightening experience, and many people will develop psychological trauma that can remain for the long-term. These should be considered just as harmful as physical injuries, and we take emotional distress very seriously.
That’s why we have a group of car accident lawyers ** who are ready to support in case such as this. They are specialists in helping with post-traumatic stress disorders, and other psychological conditions arising from a crash. Call us today for guidance on how to proceed your claim for compensation and get expert support.
