Injury

How can you be successful in a personal injury claim? Most important of all your case must either have settled or the road traffic accident legal claim must have been started in a court of law within three years of the injury. To succeed it must be proved that the other party was negligent which will need supporting evidence usually in the form of detailed police reports and witness statements. Finally you will need to prove the value of any losses that occurred directly as a result of the accident.

It is helpful to understand the basics of the process of a road traffic accident legal claim. You should be able to answer questions and provide detailed information on the nature of the accident and provide the contact details of any other party involved in the incident, including the type and registration number of their vehicle. You must also be ready too to offer information on whether, and in what way, alcohol or speeding might have been contributory factors. Thereafter your solicitor will obtain evidence in the form of reports by medical staff, police reports and statements from any witnesses.

After the initial notification that a road traffic accident legal claim is being made the negligent drivers insurance company will take a view on liability and will assess the losses that you have incurred including medical expenses, loss of income and the cost of transport and in addition will attempt to value the pain and suffering caused by the injury.

If liability is admitted the parties will attempt to negotiate a settlement however if liability is not admitted then a road traffic accident legal case will be started in the county court for determination of the issues of liability and the amount of compensation known as ‘quantum’. If liability is admitted the parties will attempt to negotiate settlement however if agreement cannot be reached then the matter of 'quantum' would be determined by a county court in the court hearing.
