Question 1

Can I claim if the accident wasn't my fault?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If another party was wholly or partly responsible for your accident, you may be able to make a claim.

Question 2

How long do claims take?

Accepted Answer

Straightforward cases can settle in a few months. More complex claims involving serious injuries take longer, because we make sure the full long-term impact is assessed before settling.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

We work on a No Win, No Fee basis. If your claim is not successful you don't pay solicitor fees. A success fee, agreed with you in advance, applies only if you win.

Question 4

What is No Win No Fee?

Accepted Answer

It's a Conditional Fee Agreement — you only pay a fee if your claim succeeds, giving you access to justice without upfront financial risk.

Question 5

How long do I have to claim?

Accepted Answer

Generally three years from the date of the accident, though exceptions apply for children and cases involving reduced mental capacity. Check as early as you can.

Question 6

Do I need medical records?

Accepted Answer

We can help obtain the relevant records. Any treatment you received — GP, A&E, physiotherapy — supports your claim.

Question 7

Can passengers claim?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Passengers injured in a road traffic accident can typically claim regardless of which driver was at fault.

Question 8

What evidence helps my claim?

Accepted Answer

Photographs, dashcam footage, witness details, police reference numbers and medical records are all useful. We'll guide you through what matters.

Question 9

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Accepted Answer

Claims involving uninsured or untraced drivers can often still be pursued through the Motor Insurers' Bureau.

Question 10

Will I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

The large majority of claims settle by negotiation. Court is a last resort and your solicitor would prepare you fully if it ever became necessary.

Question 11

How much compensation could I receive?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the severity of your injuries, your recovery and your financial losses. Your solicitor will give you a realistic range once medical evidence is available.

Question 12

Can I claim for a family member?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a parent or guardian can bring a claim on behalf of a child, and claims can be made for someone lacking capacity.
