Hurt in a road accident that wasn't your fault? We'll help you understand your options

Whether you were a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian, if someone else's actions caused your accident, you may have a claim. We'll review the details and give you a straight answer.

Dealing with an injury is hard enough without navigating a legal process on top of it. We take that off your plate. We handle the legal work, gathering evidence, dealing with insurers, negotiating your settlement, while you focus on recovering.

We only take on claims we genuinely believe in. If we say you have a case, you can trust that's a considered view, not a sales pitch.

What kinds of road traffic accident do we handle?

  • As a driver

    Collisions caused by another driver's actions, whether that's a rear-end shunt, a junction collision, or a more serious incident.

  • As a passenger

    Injuries sustained in a vehicle you weren't driving, regardless of who was at fault between the drivers involved.

  • As a cyclist

    Collisions with a vehicle, including situations where a driver failed to see or give way to you.

  • As a pedestrian

    Being struck by a vehicle, whether on a crossing, a pavement, or elsewhere.

What if I was partly at fault?

Partial fault doesn't necessarily prevent a claim. Where both parties share some responsibility, for example, a collision where speed or visibility was a factor on both sides, compensation may simply be reduced proportionally. This is called contributory negligence. It's always worth asking rather than assuming you don't have a claim.

What you could receive

Compensation for a road traffic accident claim typically covers two things: general damages, for the pain, suffering and impact on your life, and special damages, your actual financial losses such as lost earnings, medical costs, or travel to appointments.

We'll talk you through what's realistic for your specific situation once we've reviewed the details. We won't overpromise, and we won't quote a figure before we've properly understood your case.

How does a claim actually work?

Four stages, and you always know which one you're in.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    You tell us what happened. We listen, ask the right questions, and give you a straight view on whether your claim has merit. This is free, with no obligation to proceed.

  2. 02

    Investigation

    We gather evidence, medical records, photographs, witness statements, accident reports, and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

  3. 03

    Negotiation

    Most road traffic accident claims settle without going to court. We negotiate directly with the other driver's insurers to reach a fair settlement.

  4. 04

    Resolution

    Once agreed, your compensation is paid. We'll explain exactly how our fee is calculated before you agree to anything, in line with the funding terms below.

Don't leave it late

How long do I have to claim?

Most road traffic accident claims must be brought within three years of the accident, or three years from the date you first connected your injury to the accident. For children, that three year clock starts on their eighteenth birthday.

If you're not sure whether you're still within the time limit, contact us. We'll tell you quickly.

The money side

What will it cost me?

Nothing upfront. Where a no win, no fee agreement applies, our fee comes from your compensation only if the claim succeeds, and it's set out in full, in writing, before you agree to anything.

  • We'll explain the funding options available for your claim, which may include a conditional fee (no win, no fee) arrangement, clearly and in full before you decide whether to proceed.
  • Our service is no win, no fee, so there is nothing to pay up front and nothing to pay if your claim does not succeed. We look after the costs of running your claim, and where it is appropriate we put insurance in place so that you are not left owing your opponent's costs if the claim is lost. If your claim succeeds, a fee is deducted from your compensation, as it is at most firms, and we explain it in full, in writing, before you agree to anything.
  • A cancellation fee may apply if you withdraw outside the 14 day cooling off period. Full details will be provided before you sign anything.
Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the other driver's insurance details to make a claim?

It helps, but it isn't essential to get started. We can often trace the details we need once you've told us what you know.

What if the accident happened outside the UK?

It may still be possible to bring a claim, particularly if you were driving a UK-registered vehicle. Get in touch and we'll advise on your specific situation.

What does "contributory negligence" mean?

It's the legal term for a situation where you share some responsibility for the accident. It can reduce compensation proportionally rather than remove your right to claim entirely.

What does "duty of care" mean?

It's the legal responsibility every road user has to take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others.

Will my claim go to court?

Most road traffic accident claims settle through negotiation with insurers, without ever reaching a courtroom.
