Statistics provided by the UK Department Of Transport indicate that every year there are over 200,000 injuries as a result of highway accidents including over 3,000 fatalities and approximately 40,000 serious injuries. Road traffic accident compensation claims can give rise to difficult and protracted legal liability disputes especially when both parties involved blame each other. To ensure that you establish liability against the other driver, it is essential that you are represented by an expert.

What to do if you are involved in a collision :-

• write down the name, address and telephone number of others involved in the accident
• record the date and time of the accident, the street and city and weather and road conditions
• make a note of the registration number, make and model of all the vehicles involved
• obtain details of the insurance company and policy number of all the parties involved.
• obtain the name, address and telephone numbers of any witnesses
• if the police are involved obtain the officers name and collar number
• draw a diagram showing the positions of the vehicles before and after the accident
• take photographs of the damage to your vehicle and the road layout
• visit a doctor to document any injuries and take photographs of any visible injury

The value of a road traffic accident compensation claim depends on the severity of the symptoms, the length of time taken to recover and whether or not there are any residual long term symptoms. For road traffic accident compensation claims it is important that injuries are documented by health care professionals and if you are injured you should ensure that you attend your doctor or a hospital as soon as the symptoms become obvious. The record of your injury will be used in assessing the value of your claim.
