At Direct 2 Solicitors we have dealt with hundreds of car accident compensation claims, from rear end shunts to high impact, full frontal collisions. Our experience, and that of our expert personal injury solicitors, means that whatever the circumstances of the incident we know how to help you with your car accident claim.
What car accident compensation can you claim?
You can claim compensation for personal injury and other suffering as the guilty party is liable to pay all your treatment bills and professional charges. However, the amount of compensation you can claim depends on the facts and data gathered by the solicitor. It is hence really beneficial to appoint a specialist solicitor in order to win your car accident compensation.
When the initial evidence has been collected your solicitor will be able to let you know the likely level of compensation for your car accident claim. If you have suffered injuries that leave you unfit to drive, they may well be able to arrange for you to receive private medical treatment such as physiotherapy or osteopathy. Again, this would be at no cost to you as it would be charged to the liable 3rd party on top of and above any injury compensation settlement.
Your solicitor will advise you what expenses you can claim but these are likely to include some or all of the following:
- Lost earnings if you have been away from work as a result of the accident
- Car hire
- Car repairs
- Treatment for your injuries
- Miscellaneous expenses (bus fares, painkillers etc)

Here are just a few example car accident claims we have dealt with. We have changed the names and some of the facts to protect our client’s identities:
Rear end shunt accident
Mr Y was waiting at a roundabout for the traffic to clear so he could carry on with his journey. Whilst waiting Miss X drove into the rear of his vehicle. Mr Y’s car was pushed forward at speed and suffered severe rear end damage. Mr Y sustained a severe neck strain (often referred to as a whiplash injury).
At the scene of the accident Miss X admitted the accident had been her fault, but soon afterwards she claimed Mr Y had actually reversed into her. However, the specialist solicitor at Direct 2 Solicitors soon obtained enough witness evidence to discredit Miss X’s allegations, leading to her insurance company settling Mr Y’s car accident claim in full.
Head on collision
Mrs A was travelling along a B road at approximately 40mph one winter’s night. Suddenly a car travelling in the opposite direction came around a corner at speed. The driver of the oncoming car was going so fast that he could not stay on his side of the road. He collided head on with Mrs A’s vehicle, which was pushed off the road. Despite the obvious damage to the vehicles, the other driver did not stop at the scene of the accident but fortunately a vehicle travelling behind Mrs A saw everything and called the police.
Mrs A suffered severe injuries, including a fractured sternum (chest bone), a severe neck injury and various cuts and bruises.
Side road car accident
Mrs C was travelling along a main road, when Mrs K pulled out and collided with the side of Mrs C’s brand new BMW. Mrs C suffered relatively minor soft tissue injuries but was more upset by the damage to her new car. Fortunately, she contacted Direct 2 Solicitors and we were quickly able to replace her car with a hire car of the same specification. The cost of the replacement hire was covered by Mrs K’s insurers, which also paid for the repairs to Mrs C’s car and compensated her for her injuries. Mrs C was soon back driving her car, which was as good as new.
