Accident Claims

Had an Accident, want to make a claim?

More than two and a half million UK residents suffer a serious accident or injury either because of a road accident, an accident at work or in a public place. The result, for many, is financial loss and a reduction in quality of life.

If the accident causing the injury is the fault of another, our claims management team at Find a solicitor will ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. Whilst much is made in the tabloid media of a so-called "claims" culture in fact, according to independent research on accident claims, only 31% of accidents end up making a claim. The Citizens Advice Bureau report aptly names 'No win no fee no chance' states that

"Seeking compensation for injuries and harm is not a social problem or the sign of the emergence of a 'compensation culture,' but simply realising a civil and legal right".

The practical issue for many accident victims without legal or fiscal resource is how they can effectively pursue a claim. That is where we can help. Call our accident claims helpline on 0800 0106 062. All calls are confidential and you are under no obligation to take up our legal services.

No fee no win accident claims solicitors

Q. How much will this cost?
A. Nothing, call the accident helpline and Find a Solicitor will assess your claim and advise you whether you have a valid case.

If in the unlikely event we are unsuccessful, you do not pay a penny.

More properly known as a conditional fee agreement, a no-win-no-fee agreement means your claims solicitor agrees to act on your behalf but will not charge you should you lose. The promotion of No fee no win arrangements by the government as a way to reduce the cost of legal aid has meant that accident claims are now most frequently funded by solicitors rather than the public purse.

Road Accident, Work Accident, Whiplash?

The majority of claims arise from road traffic accidents or RTAs. Each year according to MASS, the Motor Accidents Solicitors Society (MASS seeks to bring justice to road accident victims) around 700,000 road accident claims are pursued in the UK. Most are settled by the fault party insurer accepting liability and offering to pay compensation to settle.

Had an Accident at Work?

Other sources are work accident claims, which frequently relate to injuries caused in breach of an employer's statutory duty to provide a safe working environment rather than law common negligence.

2. Had a work Accident?

3. What to do immediately

An increasing number of work claims flow from the duty of public bodies such as Councils and Boroughs and private property owners to ensure that places of public access are safe. These public place accident claims often take the form of an occupier's liability claim if the place where the accident occurs is private or for breach of statutory duty by public authorities who have a duty to maintain and make safe roads, footpaths and public buildings.

Road traffic accident claims we have handled successfully include accidents involving:

• Passenger or driver in a car/bus/taxi/plane

• Claims involving uninsured victims and drivers

• Claims on behalf of children

• Injuries caused by defective cars and vans

• Motorbike/cyclist road traffic accidents
