Although Britain’s roads are undoubtedly getting safer each year, there are unfortunately still too many accidents on our roads. Road traffic accidents can and often do have serious and long term consequences for the injured person and their family, which is why Jones Gough LLP has a team of specialist solicitors who can help you to make a road traffic accident compensation claim. At Jones Gough LLP we fight vigorously to ensure we achieve the best possible outcome for your road traffic accident claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a road traffic collision, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference. Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity. We believe it’s crucially important to put you, the innocent victim, first.
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a horrific road traffic accident, which was not your fault, then you may be entitled to make a Personal Injury compensation claim. If you were a passenger in a car, van, bus or coach; which was involved in a collision, your personal injury compensation claim would be made against the insurance company of the person responsible for the accident, whether that was the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in or a third party driver (or both if necessary). If you were a pedestrian, a motorcyclist, a pedal cyclist or a driver, your personal injury claim would be made against the insurance company of the person driving the vehicle which collided with you.
As with all personal injury compensation claims, you would need to prove that another person was responsible for your personal injury: in other words, you would need to prove that either the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in, or a third party driver was at fault and negligent in one way or other. To help your case, you should take the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses to the accident and take photographs at the scene of the accident if at all possible, though this may obviously not be practical depending on the particular circumstances. If the third party driver has no valid insurance, leaves the scene or admits to driving a stolen vehicle, you should contact the Police immediately and report the incident. It also well worth remembering that if you’re intending to also claim expenses, such as prescription costs and travelling expenses, you’ll need to keep the receipts as evidence.
