Road Traffic Accident Compensation

Road traffic accident compensation - can I claim?

If you've been injured in a road traffic accident which wasn't your fault, it's important to get expert legal advice straight away to find out if you could get compensation.

By law, car drivers must be insured and one of the reasons for this is so that, in the event that they cause an accident on the roads, their insurance will be able to pay compensation to any victims of the accident. So, as long as the person who caused your road accident was insured at the time of the collision, their insurance should cover your compensation.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

If the other driver wasn't insured, you can still make a road traffic accident compensation claim, but in this instance you will need to make your claim to the MIB, or Motor Insurers Bureau.

What if I wasn't driving - can I still claim compensation?

If you were in a road traffic accident but you weren't driving but were a passenger or a pedestrian, for example, you can still make a road accident compensation claim for your injuries. As long as the accident was caused by someone else, and you were injured, it's well worth finding out if you can claim road traffic accident compensation.

If the accident was caused by a friend or a member of the family while they were driving, you should not be afraid to make a claim because the compensation you receive will be paid out by the driver's insurance, so you don't need to worry about leaving someone close to you out of pocket.

How do I get started?

It's a good idea to talk to a legally trained advisor who will give you all the information you need to decide whether or not to make road accident claims, even putting you through to a specialist solicitor should you decide to go ahead.
