Why should I claim?
In English law, the law of tort allows you to claim compensation if you are involved in a motor accident.
This means that in certain situations, one person owes a duty of care to another person to not cause them any harm or injury. If that person subsequently does something, or fails to do something, and that action or inaction causes injury to the other person, they are entitled to claim compensation for damages (the injury, losses and expenses in a claim).
To make a claim for compensation under the law of tort, you need to prove that someone else was totally or largely to blame for that accident, i.e. a person must prove that another person owed them a duty of care, that they breached this duty of care, AND that this breach of the duty of care caused the first person to suffer injuries or losses.
If the other driver can prove that you were partially responsible for the accident, then your claim would settle on a “contributory negligence” basis. For example, if the other driver can prove that you were 50% responsible for the accident, then your total claim for compensation would be reduced by 50%, meaning that if the total claim was initially for £10,000, it would be reduced to £5,000.
Each case is looked at on the evidence and we will advise you on this in more detail. It is our duty to obtain evidence to support your claim and also to rebut any claim against you for contributory negligence by the other driver's solicitor.
If you unsure as to whether you can prove negligence against the other party, then please call us immediately on 0800 019 3460 so that we may advise you and protect your legal rights. We guarantee that you will receive 100% of the compensation awarded to you.
