Road Traffic Accident: Can you Claim Compensation?
 Any accident that involves one or more vehicles on the public road is classified as a Road Traffic Accident. In 2005, the Department of Transport reported that in the United Kingdom there were more than 269,000 road traffic accidents that resulted in injuries. If you have been injured in a road traffic accident, you can claim compensation if we can prove that someone else was at least partially at fault for causing the accident and your injuries.
Road Traffic Accident cases are different from other types of accidents insofar as it is possible for you to pursue a claim for compensation even if you do not have the details of the other party involved by submitting a claim to the Motor Insurers Bureau (or MIB). MIB Claims are dealt differently however . If you have been injured in a hit and run accident, or it is not clear who is at fault, you can still claim compensation.
You can claim compensation for your injuries whether you were the driver of a vehicle (car, motorcycle or bicycle), a passenger, or a pedestrian. For a thorough assessment of your claim contact our FREE ASSESSMENT line on 0800 037 1260 or complete our online claim form. We will be able to tell you whether your claim is likely to succeed and how much compensation you could be entitled to.

Road Traffic Accident: Suing for Negligence
In order for your claim to succeed, your solicitor will need to gather evidence about your accident. Any information that you will be able to provide us with early on in the assessment stage of your claim will help us establish who might be at fault and therefore who to pursue for compensation.
By law, motorists have a duty of care to other road users. In other words, they are responsible to drive with regard to the safety of others, whether within their own vehicle or elsewhere on the road. Using the details that you provide us with about the other party involved in the accident, we will be able to submit a personal injury compensation claim to their insurance company.
Should the other party not be insured, or if you have been the victim of a hit and run accident, we will still be able to represent your claim and submit it to the Motor Insurers Bureau.
In order for us to give you sound legal advice, contact us with the details of your accident and injuries on 0800 037 1260, request a call back using the short form on the left of this page or leave your details through our online claim form.
