CAR ACCIDENT SOLICITOR - NO WIN NO FEE

To succeed in a road traffic accident compensation claim you have to show the other party was negligent, in other words that their bad behaviour caused the accident. To do so you need sufficient supporting evidence including witness statements, medical records and police reports and you must either settle the claim or issue proceedings in a court of law within three years. If the other driver isn’t insured or has not been traced (hit and run) then a car accident solicitor must apply for compensation to the Motor Insurers Bureau which administers a fund, financed by the insurance industry, set up to pay compensation to the innocent victims of untraced or uninsured drivers.

Evidence

Your car accident solicitor will need a number of reports or records to use as evidence and these can include the records or accident reports of police or investigating officers, treatment and attendance records from hospitals or doctors and witness statements together with specialist medical reports to confirm the injury, the prognosis and the estimated time for recovery to take place. The car accident solicitor will also need a full statement outlining exactly what happened. It is important to ensure you keep a written record of the details of the accident, that you have the contact information of the other parties involved and of the witnesses.

Issue of Summons

The final stage of the process, after damages have been assessed, will involve your car accident solicitor attempting to settle the claim by agreement with the third party insurers however, if either liability or the amount of the claim remains in dispute then a summons will be issued in a court of law against the third party intended for ultimate resolution by the court whereupon a judge will decide both liability and the amount of compensation to be paid.
