Information about Road Traffic Accidents
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a horrific road traffic accident, which was not your fault, then you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.
If you are a passenger in a vehicle; which is involved in a collision, your personal injury compensation claim would be made against the insurance company of the person responsible for the accident, whether that is the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in or a third party driver (or both if necessary).
If you are a pedestrian, a motorcyclist, a pedal cyclist or a driver, your personal injury compensation claim would be made against the insurance company of the person driving the vehicle; which collided with you.
Perhaps, the most common type of injury resulting from a road accident is whiplash; however, many other different injuries are possible.
Claiming Personal Injury Compensation
Action to take before starting a personal injury claim
As with all personal injury compensation claims, you would need to prove that another person was responsible for your personal injury (in this case the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in or the third party driver).
To help your case, you should take names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses to the accident and take photographs of the accident locus if possible. If the third party driver has no valid insurance, leaves the scene or admits to driving a stolen vehicle, you should contact the Police immediately and report the incident.
If you are intending to claim expenses such as prescription costs and travelling expenses, remember to keep receipts as evidence.
