Car Accident Claims

OK – so you’ve had a car accident, it wasn’t your fault, and you’re wondering what on earth you should do to sort it all out! It can be particularly scary if it’s your first time in an accident as well; made even worse if the driver at fault was being quite nasty with you as they knew they were at fault, and were perhaps trying to dodge the bullet.

Here is your one stop shop advice guide as to what exactly to do. My best suggestion is read this first before you do anything (and I mean anything  – including speaking to your own insurers) and you will hopefully be able to rest a little easier when you know what you need to do.

Accident Claims

For those who may not be sure, here is a bit of advice on what an Accident Claim is, what it entails, and what happens if you make one:

An accident claim is generally a claim for compensation for injuries and loss incurred after an accident you have been involved in that was caused through no fault of your own. The accident must have been caused by someone else’s negligence – whether it’s a person or a company. You can actually be partly to blame, and still make a claim, subject to a reduction in your payout. But, ultimately, the thing to know when trying to figure out of you have an accident claim is whether the accident was the fault of someone else.

If this accident has caused you to suffer any sort of injury, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation that reflects the nature, severity, and length of the suffering involved. You are also able to take in to account for any literal financial losses you incur as well; a matter I will come on to shortly.

Claiming for your Reasonable Losses

If you have been involved in an accident that was not your fault, and you have been injured as a result, you may have a claim for compensation.

Another term for compensation is ‘damages’ and there are two types of damages for which you can claim – these are General Damages and Special Damages. General damages is the compensation for your injuries – i.e. for the pain and suffering you have endured and the effects those injuries have had on your life.  Special damages are the quantifiable financial losses which you have suffered as a result of your accident – these will be the topic of the following blog.

There are many types of losses which you can recoup and claim back from the other side – I have listed some of the more common types below:

Accident Claims Scotland

If you have had an accident in Scotland, you may be surprised to know that there are variances between England / Wales law and Scottish law that could mean the difference between incurring a deduction from your compensation and not being charged at all.

In England and Wales, for most claims for compensation, your injury lawyer has the ability to recover all of their legal fees directly from your opponent. For example, if you claim for compensation from the insurance of the driver at fault for a car accident, your lawyers should have no problems recovering their legal fees straight from the insurance as well.

With a good injury lawyer, you will never have a percentage taken away, and you will never end up having to pay a penny if you win. These are things you should check beforehand as there are lawyers out there willing to charge, but you don’t have to be charged with the right lawyer!

Accident Claims Calculator

We, like many other lawyers out there, have our own personal injury calculator on our website that has been there to help accident victims get an idea as to what they could be entitled to claim for in compensation for years.  Whilst the calculator can be useful, it has its numerous limitations – so, here’s a quick guide to fill you in on how it works:

How Does it Value My Claim?

Well, firstly, it’s important to understand that I’m basing this on our own calculator – as many others out there could be different. Out calculator provides you with brackets and figures based on official guidelines that we, as specialist injury lawyers, actually use when we value our own clients claims. The figures come from the JSB (Judicial Studies Board) Guidelines, which are guidelines set out to assist lawyers and insurers when it comes to agreeing settlement for a claim.

Work Accident Claims

If you have been injured at work through no fault of your own, you may well have a successful claim for compensation.

Your employers have an important duty to ensure that your health and safety is maintained at all times whilst you are at work, and there are a number of rules and regulations that they must abide by. If your accident and / or injuries were caused because your employers failed in this important duty of care that they have for you, their insurance should cover you and compensate you.

So – how do you make a work accident claim, and what does it entail?

Tripping Compensation Claims

So – can you make a claim for compensation for tripping over and ending up injured? If you trip over what you believe is a dangerous defect or hazard that should not have been there, and there is another person or a company at fault for the accident, you may have a successful claim for compensation.

Examples of Claimable Defects / Hazards:

  • A raised section of flooring in a premises (a shop, supermarket, etc) – perhaps a loose section of carpet or tiling that has raised up – that you end up tripping over.
  • A section of concrete raised or broken away in a car park for a premises (or in the premises) that you trip over.
  • An item, or item of furniture, dangerously positioned or left on a floor that causes a tripping hazard; a stool for employees to reach high shelves in a supermarket is a good example of such a hazard.
  • Uneven, raised, or broken sections of concrete out on the street, or a raised manhole cover.
