Road traffic accidents FAQs

We understand you might be looking for answers, so we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help get you started.

What injuries can I claim for in a road traffic accident?

You can claim for a range of injuries including fractures, brain or spinal injuries, loss of limbs, and psychological trauma, plus associated financial losses.

How long do I have to make a claim?

The standard limitation period is usually three years from the date of the accident, but there can be exceptions, so it’s best to contact us as soon as possible.

Will I have to go to court?

Most claims settle out of court, but if your case requires a trial or assessment of damages, we will prepare thoroughly and support you at every step.

How much compensation might I receive?

Compensation varies case by case, depending on factors like injury severity, impact on life, and financial losses. Our team will provide a clear assessment early on.

What if the accident was partly my fault?

You may still be entitled to compensation depending on the circumstances. We can advise you on how contributory negligence might affect your claim.
