Car Accident Injury Claims

Car accident legal services we provide

Our car accident solicitors handle every type of road traffic collision from minor impacts to catastrophic multi-vehicle accidents.

• Serious injury car accident claims – Severe car accidents can cause life-changing injuries, including spinal damage, brain injuries, and multiple fractures requiring long-term care. Our serious injury specialists understand complex medical and financial needs arising from devastating accidents, whilst working with medical experts to ensure claims address all current and future requirements. Serious injury cases often involve substantial compensation requiring careful calculation of lifetime care costs, lost earning capacity, and quality of life impact. We work with rehabilitation consultants and financial experts to build comprehensive cases, ensuring adequate provision for long-term needs.
• Whiplash and soft tissue injury claims – Neck injuries, back pain, and soft tissue problems are common in car accidents and can cause long-term pain despite sometimes being dismissed as minor. We ensure appropriate compensation for these injuries, working with medical experts to properly document the extent and impact. Whiplash claims have been subject to government reforms, but genuine injuries still deserve proper compensation. Our whiplash specialists understand new protocols whilst ensuring legitimate claims receive appropriate compensation, whilst challenging insurance companies that undervalue these claims.
• Passenger injury claims – Passengers injured in vehicles driven by others face unique challenges, particularly when the driver is a friend or family member. We represent passengers, ensuring full compensation regardless of your relationship with the driver or insurance complexities. Passenger claims can involve complex insurance arrangements, whilst our specialists understand these complications and ensure they don’t prevent securing deserved compensation. We handle sensitive situations where passengers feel conflicted about claiming, whilst explaining that insurance exists specifically for these situations.
• Multi-vehicle and complex collision claims – Complex accidents involving multiple vehicles often feature disputed liability and complicated insurance arrangements. We work with accident reconstruction experts to establish exactly what happened whilst pursuing maximum compensation. Multi-vehicle accidents can involve several insurers and disputed liability percentages. Our complex collision specialists understand these challenges while ensuring they don’t prevent receiving proper compensation through coordinating with multiple parties.
• Hit and run accident claims – When untraced drivers flee accident scenes, you can still claim compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau untraced drivers scheme. We ensure you’re not left without compensation simply because the responsible party cannot be identified. Hit and run claims have specific procedures requiring specialist legal advice. Our hit and run specialists understand MIB processes whilst working to maximise compensation and exploring all possibilities for tracing responsible drivers.
• Uninsured driver claims – We handle claims against uninsured drivers through the MIB uninsured drivers scheme, protecting you from other drivers’ failures to maintain proper insurance. The uninsured drivers scheme ensures you receive compensation equivalent to what you would have received if the driver had proper insurance. Our uninsured driver specialists understand MIB procedures whilst ensuring you receive full compensation despite these complex arrangements.
• Vehicle damage and total loss claims – Our car accident team recovers compensation for vehicle repairs, replacement costs, and alternative transport whilst your vehicle is being repaired. We understand the practical importance of your vehicle and work quickly to resolve property damage claims whilst pursuing personal injury compensation. Vehicle damage claims can be complex when determining fault and ensuring appropriate compensation for diminished value and inconvenience caused.
• Loss of earnings and future income claims – We secure compensation for wages lost due to your inability to work following car accidents, including past losses and future earning capacity where injuries have long-term effects. Our car accident solicitors work with employment experts to properly calculate immediate wage losses and long-term impact on earning potential, whilst ensuring you receive full compensation for the financial consequences of your injuries.
