Road Traffic Accident Claims in the UK: Step-by-Step Process

The UK is a great place to live, but there are many dangers out on the roads. If you have been involved in a Workplace injury and suffered injuries, here’s how to make a claim for compensation:

Make sure you are not injured.

If you are injured in an accident, get medical attention immediately. If you are not injured, but wish to make a claim against the driver of the other vehicle or their insurance company, then it is still important that you report it to the police and obtain their contact details (name, address etc). It is also advisable if possible for someone else who witnessed what happened at least briefly or has photos/video footage taken on their phone at the scene of impact which could help build up your case further later down the line if needed.

Once this has been done then speak with our expert road traffic accident solicitors here at Our Law Firm Ltd by calling them directly on 0800 888 6888 or alternatively via email using [email protected]

Get the details of the other driver.

Now that you’ve had a chance to collect your thoughts and calm down, it’s time to get the details of the other driver. You will need their name, address and insurance information so that you can make a claim with them later on.

Make sure that all this information is correct because if it isn’t then they might try to deny liability for their part in causing your accident. If there are any discrepancies between what they tell you and what actually happened (for example if they say their car was stolen when it wasn’t), contact police immediately so that they can investigate further as well as giving yourself some protection against fraudulent claims being made against you later on

Report it to the police.

Once you have received medical attention, it is important to report your accident to the police. This will help them to build up a picture of what happened and whether there were any other vehicles involved in the crash. It’s also worth getting all the details of the other driver including their name, address and contact number so that you can make an insurance claim against them later on.

You should then contact DVLA (Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency) who hold information about vehicle ownership in England, Wales & Northern Ireland; or Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Scotland with regards to accidents involving uninsured drivers or vehicles without valid MOTs/tax discs etc..

Get their insurance details from DVLA.

The first step is to get their insurance details from DVLA. You can do this by calling them on 0300 123 2334 and asking them to search for the other driver’s name on their database. Alternatively, you can visit your local post office or police station, where they will be able to help you find out if the other driver has insurance.

Once you have obtained their insurance details, contact their insurance company and explain what happened in as much detail as possible – don’t forget to mention any witnesses who saw what happened!

Assess your injuries and losses.

The first step to making a claim is to assess your injuries and losses. You will need to prove that:

• You have suffered an injury.
• The injury was caused by the accident.
• The value of your losses (for example, medical expenses).

Claim for non-fault accidents.

If you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, then it’s possible to claim compensation from the other driver’s insurance company.

This is known as a non-fault accident claim. The process can be complicated and time consuming, so we’ve outlined everything you need to know here:
