At The Injury Lawyers, we know that road traffic accidents occur all the time. As expert injury lawyers, we deal with road accident claims on a daily basis. Our experience also tells us that if you have been involved in a road traffic accident and you have ended up being injured through no fault of your own, it is highly likely that you are due compensation for your injuries. The aim of this blog is to give you a quick guide as to how to go about making a claim arising out of a road traffic accident.
A new protocol for low value personal injury claims for road accidents has made making a claim for compensation much easier, and much more streamlined.
Under previous rules, the negligent driver’s insurer were allowed a period of around 4 months in which to investigate your claim, and further to an admission of liability, it could still take a matter of months before you received your compensation. Under the new protocol, your claim is submitted via an online portal. The other side now only have 1 day in which to acknowledge receipt of your claim form, and then are allowed a further 15 working days in which to come back with their position on liability. Once liability has been admitted for your accident you will be medically examined, and your injury lawyer will put together all details of any losses arising from your accident and submit these, along with your medical report, to the other side. Once this is done, your injury lawyers will negotiate the best settlement for you.
If you instruct The Injury Lawyers, you will be in expert hands, and will be guided through every step of this simple process. We will submit your claim form on your behalf, and make sure that everything on it is correct.
