How to Claim Personal injury compensation after a car accident

2:12 AM | Posted by ecars | | Edit Post
    • Car accidents can be a traumatic time for many here in the UK.
      Car accidents can often lead to a lengthy and long winded process.
      If liability has been accepted, normally a good accident management company can often simplify and speed up things at no cost to the individual.
      If however liability isn't accepted this can be a long battle although a good car accident claims company can resolve this for you at no cost to you.
      A good car accident claims company assesses the situation of your accident and deals with your claim on an individual basis.
      Good accident claims companies normally have a panel of experienced solicitors that they use to ensure the individual/s receive the legal advice they are entitled to at no cost to them.
      These companies can offer a full service including the recovery of your car, repair (or settlement) and also the assessment of your personal injury and ensuring you get the best possible compensation for your personal injury.
      So what's the process when using a personal injury lawyer to help with the aftermath of an accident?
      Well majority of accident claims companies have websites like contactclaims.co.uk for instance. Navigate to there online claim form and submit your details. Normally a personal injury consultant will call you back the same day or the following day at the latest.

      The first call is normally an initial fact finding call where the personal injury consultant takes basic details about your accident and your injuries whether this is due to a car accident or an accident which took place at work. This can also been done online on a lot of good personal injury websites out there and speeds up the process if you fill the details in as much as possibble although alot of these website's have started to move towards the briefer contact form to keep client interest.

      After the first call the Personal injury consultant will create your file and do insurance checks (if it's a car accident claim) or run through a risk assessment if it is any other type including slip or trip claims and accident at work claims. This process is done normally takes 1 working day. At this point the legal team will call you from the accident claims company will call you and take a statement which is normally a brief description of what happened and just to go over your details to ensure everything is correct. Quite soon after this the panel solicitor dealing with the case will make an introductory call.
      At this stage all that remains is the paper work to be sent to you via the post. the paper work is normally breif consisting of the CFA whish is the legal agreement that enforces the personal injury lawyers no win no fee and 100% compensation gaurantee. The paper work may also contain a medical release form which enables the solicitor to get access to your medical records should the need arise. After you have sent all the paper work back the personal injury solicitor will start to communicate with the relevant insurance companies and arrange an independent medical assessment. This medical will be done to ensure you have fully recovered from your injuries or not or how long it will take you to recover and also to get an estimate to the amount of compensation you should be entitled to and to get an idea of what further treatment costs to pursue the third party for. This is very important together with your medical records this allows the personal injury lawyer to assess the extent of your injuries and value the injury accordingly. The insurance company will come back with an offer of compensation to settle and your personal injury solicitor will advise you whether or not is not sufficient compensation. If you accept you will be receiving a cheque if not you can end up going to court and win compensation there. Remember you will be going to court to settle the amount of compensation you will be receiving the liability won't be in question. Your personal injury lawyer will advise you closer to time.
      I reccomend the following companies

Tips & Warnings

  • If involved in a car accident get as many details of the other party as possibble.
  • If the third party is not co-operating contact the police straight away.
  • Accidents at work and in public places should be reported to the owner of the property or there representatives asap.
  • Get as many witness details as possibble.
  • Take pictures
  • make a video on your phone if possibble
  • Keep reciepts of any expenses occured due to the incidents
  • start a claim as soon as you can for your injury.
  • Not all personal injury solicitors deal specialise in every area of personal injury. So ensure you use a good nationwide claims management company to find you a specialist solicitor e.g Medical negligence is a very specilaits niche and not all personal injury solicitors can deal with this. There are specialist personal injury solicitors that only deal with car accidents or accidents at work making them excellent in those areas whilst the jack of all trade personal injury lawyers tend to drop in the quality of service they provide there clients resulting in a less then satisfactory outcome for there clients.
