Unfortunately, there's no simple calculator for car accident claims in the UK. Every case is unique, but the following factors will be considered:
- Severity of your injuries: Sadly, serious or long-term injuries result in higher compensation.
- Financial losses: This includes things like lost wages (both present and future if your earning potential is affected), medical expenses, and any costs related to needing help around the home.
- Damage to your vehicle: The cost of repairs or replacement should be covered.
- Other expenses: Might include travel to appointments, or anything else directly caused by the accident.
- Liability: If the other driver fully admits fault, it can make the process smoother.
How "it happens" can help maximize your claim:
- We assess all losses: We make sure no impact of your accident is overlooked.
- We understand the true value of injuries: Our experience means we won't let insurers undervalue your injuries.
- Expert negotiators: We fight for every penny you're rightfully owed.
Important to remember
- Don't rush to accept the first offer without getting advice.
- Keep good records: Receipts, medical reports, and anything that shows the impact of the accident will strengthen your case.
