Car Accident Compensation?
A car accident
compensation claim is even for drivers who are the
utmost careful drivers in the world as there are no guarantees
that a car accident can occur.
As a matter
of fact, you could have some sort of accident sooner or
later. Possibly the fault of someone else's stupidity.
Therefore you
should know how to react in such a situation, how to avoid
any problems and how to make a successful compensation
claim.
I Had
A Car Accident - What Should I Do?
Right after
an accident you should have at least done the following
- exchanged details with all parties involved: name, address,
phone number, policy number and insurance company's name,
car and registration plate number.
If any of the
drivers isn't the owner of the car he was driving, you
still need that person's name, as he was driving at the
time.
If possible,
you should write down the names, address and numbers of
any witnesses who saw what happened, take any statements
if possible.
As soon as
possible write down all the circumstances, including the
details concerning other cars: model, damage caused and
received. If you have a camera, take some pictures.
If you don't,
it may be useful to draw a schematic picture of the accident
scene, including road junctions, any traffic lights and
position of all vehicles participating in the accident.
If for any
reasons you can't stop at the accident scene, you must
report it to your insurance company within 24 hours.
Medical
Assistance
Even though
you may feel normal right after the accident, it doesn't
mean that you didn't suffer any injuries. Symptoms of
car
accident injuries may appear even 48 hours later.
Seek medical assistance and keep a daily record of your
injuries, the medication and treatment of it. Write down
all your expenses, keep all bills and - if possible -
all receipts as well.
What
Can I Include In A Car Accident Claim?
Car accident
compensation may cover numerous losses. First of
all, you can make an injury
claim and get compensation for any personal injuries
to you or any passengers, as well as for the costs of
any medical treatment. Pain and suffering - any psychological
damage may be compensated, too.
Furthermore,
you can claim costs for damage to your car and property,
including diminution of your vehicle's value and insurance
policy excess. Any loss of your income caused by the accident
and even reduced job prospects in the future may be the
subject of a car
accident claim.
Use of a replacement
car or courtesy car while yours is either being repaired
or evaluated, can also be compensated. As you can see
a car accident compensation claim is a very broad subject
and it includes not only an accident
injury claim, but much more details - important both
in your private and working life.
Too
Many Details?
All these details
seem complicated when you read about them. But there is
no reason why you should take care of everything by yourself.
When you suffer from a car injury it's better for you
to leave all the procedures to a professional personal
injury specialist and let them take care of the paperwork.
You on the other hand just take care of your health, leave
the other worries in the hands of a quality accident
solicitor.
If you were
injured in a car accident, you're hurt and tired, so it's
easy to forget about some important issues. That is why
you should contact an accident
solicitor - proficient and experienced - and let them
do all the necessary work to grant you good compensation.
Thanks to 'no
win no fee' you don't risk any money and if you lose
your claim, the solicitor pays all the fees and bills.
It's easy to
seek car
accident compensation, if you know how.
