About your claim

Road traffic collisions can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Dangerous or poorly maintained road conditions
• Reckless behaviour from other road users
• Faults with a vehicle

Our dedicated road traffic accident claims solicitors have a great deal of experience in helping individuals who have suffered a wide range of injuries ranging from whiplash to serious head and spinal injuries.

We have also dealt with cases in which the person involved in the incident has unfortunately died and have helped their family members to claim compensation.

Are you eligible?

If you have been injured in a car accident, you will need to speak with a solicitor to find out if you are eligible to make a claim. The team at Percy Hughes & Roberts will assess the details of the incident, explain your rights and determine whether they can accept your case.

There is a protocol that must be followed to ensure your case is dealt with as quickly as possible. This includes writing to the other driver’s legal team to hold them responsible for your injuries. If they are uninjured, their insurance company will usually take over the claim and offer compensation.

How can compensation be used?

Whether you were an innocent driver, a pedestrian or a passenger, if you have been involved in a car accident that was not your fault, there is a good chance that you will be able to claim compensation. In such situations, the money awarded by the courts is intended to help you cover the following:

• Repairs to your car
• Loss of earnings
• Your insurance policy excess
• Physiotherapy fees
• Recovery and storage
• Car hire
• Medical fees resulting from serious personal injury

Additional compensation is also often awarded to those who could potentially suffer from long-term damages or hardship as a result of the accident including those who have suffered lasting psychological effects.
