The first step to compensation - fill in a traffic accident claim form
We need to know your personal contact details, and some information about the accident. If possible please refer to any notes you might have made shortly after the crash, to give us as much information to go on as you can. Next we need to know about the extent of your injuries. Have you been assessed by a medical practitioner? What did he or she say about the injuries? If you have any of this information, please write it briefly on the traffic accident claim form. When the form has been submitted online, we will contact you within 24 hours and let you know whether we think you are likely to receive any compensation. We will also set out the procedure for making a claim and outline the various stages of the claims process. If you decide to proceed with the claim, the next step is for us to send you formal papers for you to check and sign. This is because we need your written consent to take on the case and pursue your claim on your behalf. We will prepare these papers on the basis of the information you have given us on your traffic accident claim form, but please feel free to supplement the information we hold with anything else you may remember about the accident.
Once we have received the signed papers, we will be in a position to write to the person you believe was responsible for your injuries. Setting the facts of the accident and the extent of your condition, the letter will state that you will sue for compensation. Often this initial letter prompts a dialogue between the parties which ends in a settlement without the need to go to court. This is more likely if there is only one person involved, and if the cause of the accident was clearly their fault. The question to be decided then is how much compensation you are entitled to. If no liability is admitted, the matter will proceed to court. The timescale of this depends on the court schedule, but it is likely to lengthen the process by a few more weeks. Here a judge will decide your case either on the basis of the written evidence or on oral evidence presented to him. Finally, his judgment will fall in one party’s favour, and will detail how much, if any your damages will be, and whether the other party has to pay for your costs. The sums awarded after road traffic accidents are often considerable. So think carefully about filling in a traffic accident claim form. If you are suffering from injuries that are due to someone else’s negligence, why shouldn’t you get the compensation you deserve?
