Car Accident Compensation Claims UK


Road accidents involving cars are commonplace on British roads today; unfortunately hundreds of thousands of people suffer injury as a result of other driver’s negligence. If you or a member of your family has been injured in a non-fault car accident within the last 3 years, you may be entitled to a compensation award.


Road accidents on the rise

With over 2 million new cars being registered in 2005 and an expected 2.35 million cars to be registered by the end of 2006 our roads are at the most congested levels ever and inevitably the number of accidents has risen. Every year road accidents cost thousands of lives, tens of thousands of serious injuries, millions of hospital beds and great stress and trauma to many more. A recent report issued by the World Health Organisation warns that on current trends, road accidents could outstrip obesity and HIV as one of the main causes of preventable death by 2020.

I’ve had an accident – What can I do?

If you have been involved in a car accident either as a driver or a passenger and have been injured due to somebody else’s negligence, Innocent Injured can help you claim compensation for the following:

  • Compensation for injuries suffered by you or your passengers
  • Compensation for pain and suffering caused by the accident
  • Loss of income as a result of not being able to work
  • Any expenses incurred by you as a result of the accident, this may include medication to help treat your injuries, additional transport costs in the form of taxis and buses and any treatment you have received for your injuries such as physiotherapy.

Can I actually make a claim for compensation?

There are a number of factors that are taken into account when deciding whether you can make a successful claim for compensation. The most important thing that you can do is act quickly. Below are some pointers to help you determine whether or not you can make a claim for compensation.

  • The accident was less than 3 years ago and less than 9 months ago if the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident was not insured or did not stop to give you their details. In this case a claim would be made via the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB)
  • Someone else was to blame for the accident; even if it was a friend or family member that was driving at the time, as a passenger you can still make a claim against their insurance. We do not encourage anybody to make a false claim or inaccurate claims; sometimes an accident is just that, an accident. To check of your accident circumstances qualify for a claim call our accident team today or fill out the online accident inquiry form.
  • You have suffered injury, losses or expenses as a result of the road accident. (See I’ve had an accident – What can I do? section above)
