Road Traffic Accident claims

Like all claims for Personal Injury, in Road Traffic Accident matters you must show that:

• you were owed a duty of care;

• that the duty was breached (broken); and

• that it directly led to the injury and financial loss you want to claim.

We will investigate your injuries and how they affect you. We will obtain any ambulance record that may exist as well as your medical records. We can then find the right experts to prepare reports about how the accident has affected you physically and emotionally.

We will consider how that impacts on your financial life, like if you have to reduce your working hours or leave work entirely. Where you live and its accessibility in serious cases will also be reviewed.

In most cases you have 3 years from the date of the accident to bring a claim.

It is best to get advice early to allow you and your legal team time to prepare and investigate. To make a claim, the injury must be attributable in full or in part to the breach of duty you have experienced.
