Car Accident Compensation Claims

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident and it wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation after a car accident. This could be the case, even if you were not the driver of the car or you were a foot pedestrian or a cyclist who was hit by a vehicle.

There is a three-year limit on the time that you have to make a claim, so it is best to get started as soon as possible.

It is difficult to give an exact amount of time for how long your car accident injury claim could take. There are certain things that are considered in the process, and these include:

• Physical evidence of car accident
• Medical evidence of injuries

These factors also help in assessing who is to be held liable for the car accident, which is an important part of the process. If your injuries are particularly bad, then it may mean that the claims process may take longer as more than one medical professional will need to assess you.

Sometimes, auto accident injury lawyers will advise you to wait until you have a full idea of your medical prognosis because you will not be able to make any further claims for injuries that develop or get worse after your case has been resolved.

There are a number of factors that will influence how your car accident payout will be calculated. It is difficult to say exactly where your own case will measure against average compensation for car accidents, but there are lots of considerations. These are:

• Whether any of your injuries have led to you having to make modifications to your home
• If you were the owner of the car, what the repair costs are
• Whether your injuries will prevent you from working and therefore result in a loss of earnings
• Any travel expenses that have occurred in the time that you have been receiving medical treatment
• Any medical expenses that you have already paid, in addition to any future treatment that you may have to receive
