Most people probably associate the word "accident" with a car crash or a motor accident. Most of us in our driving  lives will have the misfortune to have at least one road traffic accident.  Fortunately the majority of these accidents do not result in serious injury to the drivers and/or the passengers involved. But if you are injured in a road  traffic accident - whether it is simple bruising and whiplash, or something more  serious it is worth finding out if you can claim compensation for those injuries - online claim assessment.

Even if you walk away after a traffic accident you may be entitled to compensation for whiplash injuries that only become apparent at a later date.  We can also arrange for your vehicle to be repaired if the other driver was at fault.

Basically a road traffic accident is treated in law in just the same way as any other type of accident. The injured  party needs to establish that the accident is someone (or something) else's fault (or at least partly someone/something else's fault). 

By law all drivers must have at least  third party insurance cover. This means that their insurers will pick up the  bill if the driver causes an accident and injury to any other party (including any passengers, whether related to the driver or not). If you are unfortunate  enough to be involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, or with a driver  who doesn't stop after the accident, then your claim is likely to be covered by a special agreement covered by the Motor Insurers' Bureau (see www.mib.org.uk) an organisation set up specifically to cover such incidents. 

If you are involved in a road traffic  accident try and follow these basic steps 

if your are involved in an accident  in which someone other than you has been injured or damage has been caused to another's property or animal, then you must stop and give your name and  address (and the name and address of the owner of the vehicle if not you) and  your registration number, and insurance details if you have them, to any other parties involved

if such an accident occurs then you must report the accident to the police within 24 hours, if you have not  stopped and/or not been able to provide your name and address, car registration number and insurance details to the other parties

make sure you have a note of the make  colour and model of any other vehicles involved, together with their number plate

note any damage to other vehicles  involved

make a note of the other drivers'  names and addresses

make a note of any witness names and addresses

we advise that you call the police in  all but the most straightforward of "prangs"

do not make any admissions about liability

try and draw a rough sketch plan of  the accident scene and where the vehicles ended up (if possible go back later and take some proper measurements)

as soon as you are able write down your version of what happened

notify your insurers as soon as you  can after the accident

if you have suffered any injury at all get it checked out by a doctor

if the accident was not your fault and you have been injured then you should consider making a claim. You do not have to use the solicitors chosen for you by your insurers. They may be convenient for them, but not necessarily for you.
