If you've been injured in an accident that someone else caused, here's what to do:
- Gather evidence: Get witness details, take photos if you can, and jot down any specifics about what happened. Medical records or police reports are also key.
- Check if you have a case: Not sure if it's worth pursuing? Most claims companies (like us) offer a free initial chat to assess if you have grounds for making a claim.
- Choose how to claim: You can go solo, but it gets complicated quickly! A claims management company like "it happens" handles the whole thing for you.
- Contact the other party's insurers: If you're claiming through a company, they'll do this. Otherwise, you need to find out who to contact (it might not be the person who caused the accident).
- Negotiation and settlement: This is where things can get tricky. Insurers might try to lowball you, so it pays to have someone on your side who knows how to play hard ball.
