If you have been involved in a road traffic accident and you were a passenger in one of the vehicles involved, you have excellent prospects of a successful claim for compensation.
Even better, under a new system to deal with claims, you should get your compensation fast!
The reason you have excellent prospects of a successful claim are simple – it is highly unlikely that as a passenger you were to blame for the accident. Short of severely distracting the driver, grabbing the steering wheel or pulling the handbrake, I cannot think of many circumstances where a passenger can be held to have caused a road traffic accident. It doesn’t matter whether you were the passenger in the vehicle at fault either; you are still the innocent party and can be compensated al the same.
Here are some examples of successful passenger injury claims we have dealt with at The Injury Lawyers:
- You are on a bus which negligently brakes and you are thrown out of your seat
- You are in a vehicle which is stationary at traffic lights and someone goes into the back of you
- Someone pulls out of a side road into the vehicle you are a passenger in
- The driver of your vehicle negligently collides with another vehicle
- The driver of your vehicle doesn’t negotiate a corner properly and goes off road
If you are the innocent victim of a road traffic accident, you can make a claim for compensation. You should seek the advice of an expert injury lawyer with years of experience in dealing with these sorts of claims and who will work under a genuine no win, no fee agreement which means you get to keep every penny of the maximum compensation you deserve.
The claims process is straightforward. Your injury lawyer will submit a Claim Notification Form online on your behalf to the Defendant’s insurer who has just one business day to acknowledge it. They then have a further 15 business days to admit or deny liability. Once liability is admitted you will be asked to attend a medical report so that a medical report can be compiled and with your permission disclosed to the other side. Once this is done it’s just a matter of settling your claim which doesn’t take long in the majority of cases.
