\"\"It is an unfortunate statistic that road traffic accidents<\/a> are on the increase. This is one of the reasons, why for road traffic accidents<\/a> that happened after 30th<\/sup> April 2010 and are worth between a certain range of values, a new system has been put in place making the system more stream-lined<\/strong>, simpler<\/strong>, and quicker<\/strong>. The system sets out that within 15 business days<\/strong> of the other side receiving the circumstances of your claim in a document known as a Claim Notification Form<\/strong>, you should have an answer regarding liability \u2013 i.e. whether they admit or deny fault. This means that the angst and frustration of not knowing what is going on with your claim is taken away.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have a policy of updating our clients every 2 weeks \u2013 this means that you always stay in the loop, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Injuries and Treatment<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many clients that come to us after a road accident are suffering with whiplash<\/a>. This can be a painful and frustrating condition which many people can overlook as it is not so clear to see as a broken bone or a laceration. At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we always treat whiplash with the seriousness it deserves as we know what a destructive effect it can have on people\u2019s lives.\u00a0 When a client approaches The Injury Lawyers we can usually arrange for treatment for injuries such as whiplash<\/a> right from the start \u2013 this treatment may include physiotherapy<\/strong>, chiropractic<\/strong>, or osteopathic treatment<\/strong>; the cost of which is either payable by the other side upon succeeding with your claim, or by insurance if you lose. This means that you would not have to wait on an NHS waiting list whilst suffering with the pain and inconvenience of the whiplash.
\n
\nWhat should you do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the event you are involved in a road traffic accident it is advisable to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Contact the Police<\/strong> as they may need to compile a report.<\/li>\n
  2. Seek medical attention<\/strong> \u2013 this not only allows your injuries to be assisted with but allows the medic to place a note in your medical records.<\/li>\n
  3. Check for witnesses<\/strong> \u2013 if witnesses are present remember to take their contact details as they may be able to provide valuable evidence to your claim.<\/li>\n
  4. Seek the advice of a specialist personal injury solicitor<\/strong> \u2013 this should be done directly with the solicitor. I say this as you may be contacted by your insurance company or use a referral agency to get a solicitor. Both of these act as middlemen for claims and will likely just simply sell your claim to the highest bidder rather than the firm who will give you the best service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
