Car Accidents

In a lot of cases blame for the car accident will be clear cut. If it is not, obtaining witness statement evidence, a copy of the police records and in some cases an accident reconstruction expert’s report will be essential. We will also consider whether there has been a breach of the Highway Code.

If a lorry or a commercial vehicle is involved we may need to obtain copies of tachograph records or maintenance and repair records

Claims for compensation for car accidents can include claims for the following:

  • damages for the injuries you have suffered
  • the insurance excess
  • loss of no claims bonus
  • towing and recovery charges
  • the costs of repairs or, if the car was written off, its market value before the accident less its salvage value
  • vehicle storage charges
  • car hire charges
  • the cost of breakdown/roadside repairs
  • travelling expenses and telephone calls arranging for repairs to a damaged vehicle
  • damages for the loss of the use of your car while waiting for repairs or replacement

Car accident claims can involve a wide range of injuries from whiplash injuries which recover quickly to the most serious of claims involving fatal accidents. Whatever your losses and expenses we will ensure that they are included in your car accident injury claim so that you get all of the compensation you deserve.
