If you or someone you know has been involved in a motor accident then you could make a claim for compensation. Personal injury laws allow an innocent victim of motor accidents to pursue a third party for damages if that party's negligence has resulted in injury. Motor accidents can result in different types of claims including brain and spinal injuries, injury to children, claims by passengers on public transport, motorcycle and bicycle claims and claims by pedestrians and passengers injured in motor accidents.
Motor accidents generally involve straightforward claims at no cost to the claimant, particularly as solicitors in motor accidents often operate on a 'no win, no fee' basis, and in most cases the question of liability is straightforward. There are some complications however, for example, if you are partially responsible for the motor accident then there is a question of how much your damages should be reduced by due to you own negligence. An example of this is not wearing a seat belt, or a passenger voluntarily sitting with a drunk driver.
Any claim for compensation should be made within three years of the accident, or in the case of a child, before their 21st birthday. The courts can grant an extension to this limitation in certain circumstances, for example being away as part of the armed forces or being incapable of bringing forward a claim because you were induced into a coma. It is important to appoint an experienced motor accidents solicitor who will be able to ensure that you are receiving the amount of compensation you are entitled to.
