Being a passenger in a road traffic accident means one simple thing – you are likely to have strong prospects of a successful claim for compensation.
You have been injured as a result of another person’s negligent driving and not as a result of your own; therefore we aim to get you the best compensation possible for your injuries. It doesn’t matter if you have been a passenger in the vehicle which is at fault if they collided into another vehicle; the fact that you were a passenger and you have sustained injuries as a result of the accident proves to be a winning claim.
This is because you have sustained injuries through no fault of your own, and the law allows you, as the innocent party, to obtain compensation for these injuries.
Claiming compensation is simple, effective and hassle free
If your claim is worth less than £10,000 and occurred after the 30th April 2010 it will proceed through the Road Traffic Accident Protocol which enables injured victims to receive the compensation they deserve a lot quicker.
All you have to do it provide us with all the information relating to your accident and we do all the hard work for you. We complete a Claim Notification Form which contains all the relevant information about your case and submit it to the third party insurer on the very same day through the Ministry of Justice Portal to get your claim moving – enabling you to receive your compensation at a much quicker rate.
The third party insurer will then only have 1 business day to acknowledge receipt of the Claim Notification Form, and 15 business days to respond confirming whether they will pay out or not.
It really is that simple.
Once we have a response from the third party insurer we will organise (we, not you – remember: we do all the work!) a medical appointment for an expert to provide us with a report.
This is really simple as well – you visit a local GP or similar suitable expert who will medically assess your injuries and produce a medical report that goes directly to us.
We will also ask you to identify all of your losses you have incurred as a result of your accident, such as loss of earnings and travel expenses, and to produce a Schedule of Special Damages that can be included in the valuation of your claim.
You don’t even have to worry if you find yourself being a passenger in family or friends vehicle who is at fault as they will not pay any costs – it is the insurance company that pays on their behalf.
There simply isn’t a reason for you not to bring a claim for compensation.
