If you've been injured in a car accident caused by someone else, you might be able to make a car accident claim. This is a legal process where you seek compensation for:
- Injuries: Any physical or psychological harm you've suffered because of the accident.
- Lost income: If your injuries stopped you from working.
- Damage to your car: Getting it repaired or replaced.
- Other costs: May include things like medical expenses or needing help around the home due to your injuries.
How does it work?
- Gather evidence: Photos, witness details, any medical reports, etc.
- Check if you have a case: Companies like us offer a free initial chat.
- File the claim: This is often done through the other driver's insurance company.
- Negotiation: This is where insurers might try to offer you a low settlement. A claims company like "it happens" can fight for a fair deal on your behalf.
Important:
- You usually need to claim within three years of the accident.
- "No win, no fee" options may be available so you don't have upfront costs.
