After a car accident, dealing with a legal claim can seem like an added pressure when you need to focus on your recovery. At Nigel Askew Solicitors, we make the process straightforward. Our car accident solicitors will manage your claim from start to finish, offering clear support at every stage so you can concentrate on your well-being.

We’ve set out the process for making a car accident claim below:

1. Determining who is responsible

   The first step is to identify who is legally responsible for the accident. Our car accident lawyers will look into the details of what happened to pinpoint the negligent party. This is often another driver, but responsibility could also fall to another third-party, such as the local authority for unsafe roads.

2. Obtaining key evidence

   To support your claim, we will then begin to collect the supporting evidence to help build your case.

   Typically, this will include:

   • Dashcam footage
   • Photographs
   • Witness reports
   • Police reports
   • Medical reports

3. Medical assessment

   To ensure your compensation amount aligns with the impact of the accident, we will arrange for you to see an independent medical professional.

   They will assess your injuries and review how they affect your everyday life and ability to work. The resulting report not only documents your current condition, but also provides insight into your likely recovery, helping us present a clear case for the compensation you deserve.

4. Calculating and negotiating your compensation

   With a complete picture of your injuries and financial losses, we can work out the total value of your claim. This includes payment for your pain and suffering, along with any loss of earnings, medical expenses, or care requirements. We then present this to the other side’s insurer and negotiate to get a fair result for you.

   Most car accident claims are settled without the need to go to court. However, if the other party’s insurer will not offer a reasonable settlement, we might advise starting court action. Should this happen, our skilled personal injury litigators will give you strong representation and guide you through the process.

5. Finalising your car accident compensation

   This is the final stage where you receive your payment based on the agreed settlement value. The financial settlement factors the injuries you sustained, and where applicable, takes into consideration any on-going care requirements.

A car accident can affect many parts of your life, from your health to your finances. When you make a road traffic accident claim, the amount of compensation you receive will depend on the harm caused to you and your vehicle .

Compensation will fall into the two categories below:

General damages

This part of your compensation covers the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused by your physical or psychological injuries. The amount awarded reflects the severity of your injuries and how they are expected to affect your life and future, based on an independent medical report.

Special damages

This category covers all the financial losses and expenses you have incurred because of the accident. This can include loss of earnings if you were unable to work, both now and in the future. It also accounts for the cost of medical treatments, rehabilitation, travel expenses, and any necessary modifications to your vehicle.

Our compensation calculator can help you understand what you may be entitled to for non-whiplash injuries. We know that thinking about compensation can be overwhelming, so we have designed this tool to give you a helpful estimate.

Simply enter the area of the body that was injured and the severity of the injury. The calculator will then provide an approximate compensation figure based on amounts awarded in recent case law.

Every car accident is different, so there is no single answer for how long a claim will take. The time it takes to settle depends on the details of your accident, available evidence and the injuries you sustained. A straightforward claim might be resolved within months, while more complex car accident cases may take 18-24 months.

Our priority is to secure the right outcome for you, not just a quick one. Our car accident lawyers will manage your claim efficiently while making sure every detail is handled correctly. We will always keep you informed of the progress of your case.

The main factors that influence the timeline of your claim are:

• Severity of your injuries
• Disputes over liability
• Gathering medical evidence
• Negotiations with insurers
