What Is A Car Accident Claim?
A car accident claim is the process by which you seek financial compensation if you’ve suffered injury or other losses because of another party’s negligence on the road. This could cover your medical costs, lost income, damage to your vehicle, and other associated outlays.
The primary aim of a car accident claim is to restore you, so far as possible, to the position you were in before the incident occurred. That means your compensation could cover not only tangible costs but also pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life where applicable.
In most cases, claims are made against the responsible party’s insurer. If the driver was uninsured or unidentified, there’s usually a route to compensation through schemes like the Motor Insurers’ Bureau.

Common Scenarios Leading To Car Accident Compensation Claims
Not every road collision will give rise to a successful car accident claim, but there are some recurrent circumstances where compensation is likely to be warranted. The most common include:
Rear-end collisions, Often caused by a driver failing to keep a safe distance.
Junction accidents, Where another motorist pulls out without checking properly.
Hit-and-run incidents, Accidents involving an uninsured or untraced vehicle.
Drunk or drug-impaired driving, Causing avoidable harm.
Road rage incidents leading to accidents or assaults.
Speeding or reckless driving, Exceeding limits or failing to adapt to road conditions.
You may also have grounds to claim if a road user’s inattention, such as using a mobile phone or jumping a red light, leads to your injuries. Even as a passenger or pedestrian, it is possible to pursue compensation if someone else’s actions caused your losses.
Our team of solicitors can help with most road traffic accident claims. Therefore, if you’ve been injured in a car accident and believe you should be compensated, why not give us a call today?
Eligibility Criteria In Car Accident Claims
Before launching a car accident claim, it’s vital to determine if you’re eligible. Generally speaking, you can claim if:
The other road user owed you a duty of care, legally. This true in almost all scenarios on public roads.
As a result of negligence, that duty was breached and a car accident occurred.
You’ve been diagnosed with injuries that can be linked to that accident.
There is no need for the other party to have intended to cause harm: negligence or carelessness is sufficient. Passengers are also usually able to claim for injuries sustained in a car accident so long as the criteria above have been met.

What Evidence Is Needed To Support Car Accident Claims?
Even in straightforward car accident claims, evidence should be submitted to verify your version of events. This can include:
Photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries
Police and accident reports (if available)
Medical records and treatment notes
Witness statements or dashcam footage
Proof of losses, such as repair invoices or evidence of missed earnings
In some cases, our solicitors can help to secure evidence that you’ve struggled to obtain. As such, you don’t need to be in possession of everything listed here to contact us about your case.
Is There A Time Limit?
The time limit for personal injury claims in the UK is 3 years. For car accident claims, this limitation period usually begins on the date of the accident.
If the injured party is a child, there may be a longer period in which to claim. That’s because their time limit won’t begin until their 18th birthday. However, a responsible adult could take action on behalf of the child before then.

What Does Compensation In A Car Accident Claim Cover?
Compensation could address several forms of loss, such as:
General damages, which compensate for physical injuries sustained in the accident as well as any psychological distress or emotional trauma you have experienced
Special damages, which cover specific financial losses such as loss of earnings due to time off work, the cost of medical treatment, and expenses for any necessary care or assistance
Additional compensation for anticipated future expenses, including further rehabilitation, ongoing medical needs, and any adaptations required to your home or vehicle to accommodate lasting injuries or disabilities

How long does it take to settle a car accident claim?
The time taken to settle a car accident claim varies based on the complexity and severity of injuries, but most straightforward cases resolve within several months, while more complicated claims may take a year or more.
What if I was injured as a passenger—can I still claim?
