Free advice and support for car accident claims
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury today, and the number of accidents can rise dramatically when we experience particularly cold and icy winters. If you have been involved in an accident involving a car through no fault of your own, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation from the responsible party. This may be the vehicle owner, or perhaps the local authority if, for example, the accident was caused by a hole in a road, or a stretch of road that is in a poor state of repair. If you feel you may have a case you should contact a personal injury solicitor for free advice and support on what to do next.
Whether you were the driver of or a passenger in a car, a pedestrian, or a cyclist at the time you were injured, your solicitor should provide the help and support you need to help you fully recover and to claim any compensation due. Generally compensation may be payable for any injury suffered as a direct cause of the accident where someone else is at fault, whether this be for an injury such as whiplash, or something more serious such as broken bones or head and spinal injuries.
In accidents where a fatality has occurred there can be a huge amount of emotion attached to pursuing a compensation claim and expert legal advice should be taken to launch a claim and to ensure that you get the support you need throughout the process.
Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB)
Sometimes, the driver of a car who was responsible for an accident cannot be traced because it was a ‘hit and run’ accident or because they were uninsured. In these situations, the MIB compensates the victims of negligent uninsured and untraced motorists and it can provide information and support about its services. The MIB was set up to help remove uninsured drivers from our roads.
It is important to remember that while these organisations can offer very helpful support and advice, full legal advice should always be sought from an expert solicitor if you have been involved in a car accident.
Seek legal advice and support from a name you know and can trust if you are looking to make a car accident claim or other personal injury claims.
