Road Traffic Accidents
ATTENTION!
“Third Party Capture” is a practice used by “At Fault” insurance companies to settle all claims directly with the innocent party, before they seek own advice.
By agreeing to the terms of the party “At Fault” and signing documents on acceptance of the agreed amount, as a complete and final settlement of the claim, you lose the opportunity to reconsider your decision in the future.
If you find yourself in such situation, please contact us for a free consultation which will help you make the right decision.
An RTA is a fairly common situation that we might find ourselves in while sharing road. Using or driving public transport, a car, riding a motorcycle or a bicycle; being a driver, a passenger or a pedestrian.
If you were injured in an RTA, you have the right to receive compensation.
Any road user can exercise this right, provided that they are not the guilty party. The connections between participants to an incident do not matter. As an example: a wife can file a claim against her husband who lost control of the car which led to an accident and injury.
The victim may be stopped by the moral aspect of the claim between relatives, however it’s essential to understand that the claim is not pursued against the driver at fault, but against their insurance company.
According to the law, anyone who gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, in possession of a driving license, must have an insurance policy covering their liability for other road users, including their passengers and pedestrians.
Unfortunately, not all of the drivers follow the requirements of the law. There is still a large number of uninsured drivers on the UK roads.
If you were injured through the fault of an uninsured driver or they simply fled the scene of the accident, the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) takes the responsibility for paying compensation. The Bureau's functions also include the consideration of claims if one of the cars has a foreign registration, as well as accidents that occurred outside the UK.

Did you know?
The car seat your baby was in at the time of the accident can be included to your claim even if there is no visible damage to it. Studies have shown that after an accident, the level of protection decreases and may become insufficient in the event of a second RTA.
