What other compensation will I receive?
In addition to the award for your injuries, you will also receive compensation for all other losses and expenses reasonably incurred as a result of the accident. Your expert 'Direct 2 Solicitors' 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).
What do I do now?
Contact Direct 2 Solicitors immediately so we can start looking after
you and your road accident claim.
When you are involved in a road accident, there are normally two extremely important aspects of your claim which need immediate attention:
- Most people rely on their car to a large extent, using it daily for transportation to work, school runs, shopping etc.
- If you have been injured, you need treatment to allow you to return to your normal daily life cycle as soon as possible.
We deal with both of these concerns immediately, as explained below.
Free replacement car
At Direct 2 Solicitors we realise you need to be back on the road as
soon as possible and we have arrangements with leading hire companies
to ensure this can and will happen if the accident was not your fault.
You can be given a replacement car of the same standard as your damaged
car literally within hours of your accident.
Free private treatment for your injuries
If you have suffered injuries and are not fit to drive following your
road accident, we can arrange treatment at no cost to you to get you back
on the road as soon as possible.
How long do I have to make a road accident claim?
Normally you have three years from the date of an accident to make your
claim for compensation. However, in some circumstances this can be extended
for an even longer period, for instance if you were not 18 years old at
the time of the accident. If you are in any doubt, please call us, email
us, or complete our online claim form, and we will be in touch with you
shortly to give advice.
There is no charge for assessing your claim, so you have nothing to lose
and much to gain if you can make a successful claim.
How much compensation will I receive for my injuries?
Every claim is different. However, there are guidelines issued by the courts for solicitors. All 'Direct 2 Solicitors' solicitors are experts in handling accident claims and know how to use these guidelines to ensure you receive the right amount of compensation for you injuries. You will be advised once initial evidence has been collected as to the likely level of the award of compensation for your road accident claim.
