Guide to making Accident Compensation Claims

Making a compensation claim has become a lot simpler over the last few years, practically everything is dealt with over the phone, cutting out those long visits to the solicitor's office. Court visits are only made if the claim can not be settled out of court, but this very rarely happens when making a personal injury claim.

Making compensation claims for road accidents

Road accident claims are the most straight forward type of claims to get compensation for. Most of the details are collected at the scene of the accident making the evidence process a whole lot easier. You must have your injuries seen to by a doctor or at the hospital for more severe injuries.

Details needed

Much of the evidence needed for the no win no fee * compensation claim is gathered at the scene of the accident. You must get third party details, name, address, insurance details etc. Make sure that you get eye witness details, and photographic evidence is always a bonus. If police had attended the scene then make sure you get the officers name and number as this would later be handy when chasing the police report.

Personal Injury details

Get your injuries looked at straight away if you are in pain, in most cases the type of injury sustained from a car accident is whiplash. The symptoms of whiplash are not straight away recognised by many, it depends on the amount of impact and the individual. Make sure you make frequent visits to your doctor every time you suffer from the injury. Always ask for physiotherapy as it does help speed the recovery period, this may cost but the compensation will cover the expenses back. Keep a record of all your hospital and doctor visits no matter how unimportant they may seem as well as receipts of any medical bills.
