If you or a member of your family has been involved in a road traffic accident as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist or a pedestrian that was not your fault, Litigaid Law can help. If you have suffered an injury in a Road Traffic Accident in the last 3 years, we can help you obtain compensation.

The majority of our claims are dealt with on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis which means you pay no legal costs to us (win or lose) and you receive 100% of your compensation. You do have to pay disbursements, which are fees to other parties such as medical experts, court fees for example. If you are eligible for legal assistance we can apply on your behalf for this to fund your claim.

As a driver of a vehicle in a non-fault accident, you may be able to claim for:

• Your injuries
• Damage to your vehicle
• Storage and recovery charges
• Repair and credit hire charges
• Policy excess
• Loss of earnings
• Cost of treatment and travel expenses
• Any other losses (such as damaged clothing)

Equally, as an innocent passenger in a car, on a bicycle/motorbike (which may be as a result of a manufacturing fault, third party vehicle or defect in the road) or on a bus, you can claim compensation for your injuries.

Fortunately, most Road Traffic Accidents result in a whiplash injury (which can even be suffered through low velocity impacts (LVI) resulting in soft tissue damage). However, in the event of serious injury, your claim may involve organising a specialist in your injury, nursing care/rehabilitation experts and any other professionals who can assist in helping you recover from your injury.

If a member of your family has unfortunately died as a result of a Road Traffic Accident, then this may result in the loss of the main source of income for a family. After such an accident a family needs the care and attention of experiences lawyers to help them through the difficult circumstances. Following a fatal accident, there may be a potential claim for a bereavement award, funeral expenses and special damages compensation if the family’s income has been affected following the accident.

At Litigaid Law you will be provided with clear advice and support throughout the legal process. You can be reassured that our aim is to secure the best possible outcome for you, both in terms of compensation and by providing a supportive and continuous level of care.
