Compensation For Passenger Accidents

The amount of compensation you are likely to receive for your passenger accident might seem like an easy question to answer, but all compensation payments are specific to your personal situation, so the only way to get an accurate assessment is to discuss your passenger accident with our highly-trained legal professionals. There are some common aspects across all compensation claims, however.

All compensation claims are divided into two parts. The first is set nationally by the Judicial College (a governing body). The judicial college creates and updates a list of all types of personal injuries, along with a range of compensation payments that are typical for this type of injury. The ranges are deliberately wide, to allow the individual nature of your specific injury to be taken into account. Whilst this is helpful for personal injury claims solicitors and for the courts, it can make it very difficult for people like you to know how much compensation you are entitled to. This is one way in which our highly experienced team of personal injury claims solicitors are able to help. Our years of experience in passenger accident claims just like yours allow us to give you the best estimate for how much compensation you are likely to receive.

The other part of the compensation claim is based on the ways in which your passenger accident has impacted your life. This part of the compensation claim for your passenger accident is there to help you get your life back as close as possible to the way it would have been if your passenger accident had not happened, so it is important to ensure that you claim for every cost and expense you have incurred as a result of your passenger accident. This could be additional medical support that is difficult to obtain on the NHS, such as physiotherapy, or even making modifications to your home if necessary. If you need to take time off from work in order to recover from your passenger accident, your loss of earnings would be included in this aspect of the compensation.

It can be difficult to be sure that you are claiming everything that you are entitled to. Our expert passenger accident claims solicitors have years of experience making sure that you are claiming for everything you deserve, giving you the best possible compensation claim to help you get your life back on track following your passenger accident.

How Long Does It Take To Make A Passenger Accident Compensation Claim?

It can be hard to know how long a particular passenger accident compensation case will take, as some can be settled very quickly, while others will take much longer to be decided. We know that you want to put your passenger accident behind you as quickly as possible, so we do everything that we can to resolve your claim as quickly as possible.

Some cases can be settled very quickly indeed, with many taking just a couple of months and the very fastest needing only a few weeks. For cases to be resolved this quickly, they will usually be for more minor injuries and, therefore, smaller compensation amounts. If you are claiming a smaller amount of money, there is less incentive for the other side to reduce your claim through lengthy negotiations. Personal injury compensation claims that are resolved this quickly as also the ones where the other side accept liability almost immediately, removing the need for evidence gathering and offering proof, both of which take time.

If your case is more complicated, for example if there is more than one person or organisation responsible for your injury or if the other side refuses to accept that they were liable for what happened, your case may take much longer to be resolved. The cases that take longest to complete are those which cannot be settled out of court and which require a judge to make the final decision.

Can I Make My Passenger Accident Compensation Claim On A No Win No Fee Basis?

We offer our services on a no win no fee basis to almost all of our clients, as we don’t believe that anyone should have to put themselves at financial risk or make large, up-front payments in order to access the legal they need to get the compensation they deserve.

When you take on a no win no fee personal injury claims solicitor, you don’t have to pay anything until we get you the compensation you deserve. If we are unable to secure your compensation payment, you won’t have to pay anything. This is important, as it means that you will never be left financially worse off for seeking the compensation you are entitled to. We also cap our fees at a percentage of your compensation payment, meaning that you will always know in advance how much you will receive when you are offered a compensation amount and you will always receive the vast majority of any money paid out.

Although we do our best to offer a no win no fee payment option to as many of our clients as possible, there are a few situations in which we are not able to do so. If this is the case for you, we will make sure that you understand that in advance, and will discuss other possible funding arrangements with you to ensure that you can afford the legal help you need.

If you are thinking of making a passenger accident compensation claim, call now or claim online and let us help you to get the compensation you deserve for your passenger accident.

Will I Have A Large Bill For My Passenger Accident If I Lose?

We guarantee that you will not be asked to make any payments whatsoever if we are unable to win you the compensation you deserve. The most important thing to understand about making a no win no fee passenger accident compensation claim is that it is utterly free from risk for you. If we don’t get you the compensation you deserve, you won’t have to pay a penny. This means that you can be completely sure that you will never be left worse off as a result of seeking justice for your accident.

What If My Passenger Accident Happened A While Ago? Is There A Time Limit On Making A Claim?

The deadline for making a passenger accident claim following an accident is two years from the date of the accident. Although this can be extended in very exceptional circumstances, almost all cases are resolved within this time limit and exceptions are very rare. If you are approaching this date, it is essential that you contact our personal injury solicitors without delay.

There can sometimes be an advantage in waiting a little while before making a passenger accident compensation claim. Some injuries may take a while to fully appear or they may take far longer than expected to heal. It is always worth having conversations with our personal injury specialists as early as possible, however, as this gives you the best chance of forming a strong case and getting the compensation you deserve.

How Do I Make A Passenger Accident Compensation Claim?

Making any passenger accident personal injury claim for compensation follows the same, simple process.

Getting legal advice before starting your passenger accident compensation claim can dramatically increase the likelihood of you receiving the compensation you deserve, and can also help you to make a claim for the full amount that you are entitled to. Our personal injury claims specialists are available 24 hours a day or you can claim online and we will call you back at a time to suit you.

We will write to the person to blame for your passenger accident on your behalf. We inform them that you are making a compensation claim for your injuries and that you hold them responsible. We give them a deadline by which they need to either accept that this is true, or provide an explanation as to why they disagree.

If the other party does not accept that they were to blame for your accident, we will prove this to them. We will provide them with evidence and supporting documentation to demonstrate that we can present a convincing case in court. It is extremely rare for an employer to continue to dispute liability beyond this point.

When the other side have agreed that they are liable for your personal injury compensation claim, we will then begin to negotiate the settlement (this is how much money you will be given). We will make sure that you know about every offer that is made, and also whether we believe that it is a fair offer or not. The decision as to whether or not to accept an offer of compensation will always be yours, but we will help you and give you the information you need to be confident in your decision.

In almost all cases, it is possible to reach an agreement to settle your case. This is especially true for accidents at work, as it is not in the interests of the insurance company to force your personal injury compensation case to court. If it is not possible to agree liability or to find a compensation amount that both sides find air, it may be necessary to ask a judge to decide how much compensation you deserve.

How Do I Know Whether I Can Make A Passenger Accident Claim?

If you have suffered a passenger accident, you may be wondering whether you are able to make a passenger accident compensation claim. In most cases you can, but there are a few things that must be true for your claim to be successful.

The most basic requirement for making a passenger accident compensation claim is that you must have suffered a passenger accident and had some form of damage or loss as a result. Your injury could be either physical or mental, but you cannot make a compensation claim if you have not experienced any negative consequences from your passenger accident. Although experiencing a near miss can be alarming, you are only able to claim for accidents that actually happened, not those which you narrowly avoided.

The next criteria for making a passenger accident compensation claim is that there must be someone else who was responsible for your passenger accident. There must be someone else to blame. This doesn’t need to be a specific person, it can be an organisation, such as the council, or a company, such as your employer. The important thing is that there must have been someone with a legal responsibility to look after your safety. Your employer has this responsibility for all accidents that take place in the workplace.

It is also essential that the other party could have reasonably been expected to anticipate your passenger accident. This is not the same as saying that they must have known that it would happen, but it must have been something that could have been predicted with enough thought and careful attention.

The final requirement is that the other party must have failed to take sufficient steps to protect your safety. This doesn’t mean that you can’t claim unless they did nothing. You are still able to make a compensation claim if the measures they put in place were inadequate.

If you are considering a passenger accident compensation claim, our dedicated team of personal injury claims solicitors want to help you get the payment you deserve. There’s no need to wait. Call us or claim online today. We’re available 24/7 to give you the help and advice you need.

What Can You Do In The Period Immediately After Your Passenger Accident?

The most important thing in the immediate aftermath of your passenger accident is to ensure that you are safe and that you have the medical attention that you need. This must always be your first priority. Once you have done this, however, you might want to think about taking a few simple steps to help with a passenger accident compensation claim, should you decide to make one.

It is essential that you are clear in your own mind about the details of the events surrounding your passenger accident. The best way to do this is to make sure that you write down everything that you can remember. Even the smallest details might be useful, and will go a long way to making sure that you come across as a convincing witness, should that be necessary. The sooner you are able to write down this information, the more valuable it is likely to be.

It can also be extremely helpful for your passenger accident compensation claim if you have noted down the contact details for anyone who witnessed your passenger accident. Having access to supporting evidence from others who witnessed your passenger accident can be a powerful tool in convincing the person responsible for your passenger accident that they should settle your passenger accident compensation claim before it gets to court, as well as for convincing the court to rule in your favour if the case does go all the way to court.

If you have access to photographs or videos of the place that your passenger accident took place, these pieces of visual evidence can also be very helpful. Please do make sure that you don’t put yourself at risk to obtain these though. Anything showing any features of the location or the situation that made your passenger accident more likely, or which increased the severity of your passenger accident, should be documented if you can.

Although taking these steps can make it easier to support your passenger accident compensation claim, none of them are essential and we fully understand if these are not your first priority in the period immediately after your passenger accident. The biggest thing you can do to help your passenger accident compensation claim, however, is to call us or claim online. This will allow you to get the expert help you need to support you throughout your passenger accident claim without having to pay anything up front.
