The motor accident claim can be requested when you have been injured in an accident that was another party’s fault. A motor accident is one in which a motor vehicle is involved, either with another automobile or with a pedestrian, cyclist, etc. What do you need to do if you find yourself in such a situation? This article is designed as a guide that tells you effective claiming measures that need to be taken. We’ll assume that you are driving a car, going within reasonable speed limits and concentrating on the road ahead. Everything that common sense driving is all about. Suddenly, you get hit by another car coming out of a side street. The other car’s driver obviously is guilty of negligence and thus responsible for the accident. Here are some pointers on how it's best to react after a motor accidentThe first thing you have to do after you realise what just happened is to examine your body for any injuries. Any pains or injuries which you might have suffered need to be looked at immediately and given first aid. Let’s suppose you escaped with nothing but a few cuts and bruises. If everyone escaped with just a few bruises after a motor accident would be great, unfortunately this isn’t the case. It’s time to get out of your car and see if the other driver is physically OK. Fortunately, he is so. Now, you need to pull over your car to the side of the road. Meanwhile, you may notice a flock of people who are curiously wondering what happened there. Anyway, let’s go on. You start a conversation with the other driver, as calmly as possible. You may discuss about what happened, you may even discuss about the weather, but don’t get involved in a “who’s to blame for the accident” kind of talk. Write down his name, address, phone number, car details including registration, colour, make, etc.
From the flock of people who are curiously wondering what happened select a few people who will be your witnesses. Take down all their details as well, as it may prove very useful in the future. Write down the weather conditions, the place of the incident and the damage your car suffered. If you’re lucky enough to carry a photo camera take pictures of the motor vehicle(s) involved, putting emphasis on the damage your car suffered. In a worse case scenario, if you or anyone involved suffered major injuries then call an ambulance immediately. When you get home, the first thing you need to do is to call an attorney who will claim for you on a 'no win no fee' basis. Meaning if your solicitor loses your case you pay nothing, but, if he wins your case you walk away with 100% of the compensation cheque. There are many specialised attorneys who handle this sort of motor accident claims. Try asking your family and friends for a good lawyer. Maybe they’ve gone through similar situations and can recommend one. Anyway, once you call a lawyer, he will appoint you for a meeting. When you meet with your solicitor you will be asked everything about the accident. Answer all questions honestly and in as much detail as you can remember, because in these cases every bit of information is precious. He will ask you to give him all the evidence you managed to gather and later on he is going to double check everything. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, it’s just a thing that lawyers do so that everything adds up to establish a strong and solid case. Then, he’s going to appoint you to a meeting with a medical expert who will evaluate all your injuries. These appointments will have to be made regularly because there’s no telling of how your injuries will evolve and you have to get very well compensated for them. You may have suffered a serious whiplash without even realising it. Then, just let your auto accident attorney work his magic. Now it’s time to relax and recover from your injuries and physical and mental shock you have suffered because of the traumatic event. Your attorney will double check all the pieces of information you gave and gather as much more evidence as he possibly can. Then, he’s going to contact the two parties involved, insurance companies included. He will prepare a statement for you to give to your insurance company, a statement that is going to help you in the process of claiming. He is going to ask for as much compensation as possible, including compensation for your injuries, the damage to your car and other assets of yours, medical expenses, etc. Especially in accidents like this one, the two parties reach an agreement without going to Court. A cheque for you is written, and you get your motor accident claim.
