Car Accident Claims

Have you been injured in an accident caused by a careless driver or road condition? Our team of compensation lawyers can help those who have been injured in accidents, whether as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist, pedestrian or passenger on public transport. We also deal with claims to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, where the driver responsible for the accident cannot be identified, and also when the driver has no insurance.

If you have been involved in a road accident and the accident was not your fault, or, even if you were party to blame, another driver is also partly blame, then you can claim compensation for your injuries and losses.

The claim is paid by the insurer of the driver responsible. You can claim against the driver of the car you were in, if that driver was to blame. The driver is covered by insurance. Similarly, if the accident was caused by another driver, then it is their insurance which pays compensation if the driver causes you injury.

Claims of the highest severity

Some accidents are so serious that a different approach is required – especially, where the injuries are life changing.

Our lawyers are experienced in handling multi-million pound claims arising from road accidents and driven by one goal – to help you every step of the way, to put your life back together and achieve maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.

The purpose of these proceedings is to, as much as realistically possible, restore a victim of an accident to a position he or she would have been if the accident did not happen. If your injuries are life changing, you will need help and guidance and most of all, practical support and funds to enable you to get treatment and equipment.

Claims can be made for adapted vehicles, wheelchairs, adaptations to the home, prosthetics and any else that has been recommended to you, to enable you to live your life as fully as possible.
It is important that you instruct a lawyer that has experience of dealing with serious cases and who will be there for you, every step of the way.

We know how important it is to have the reassurance of an experienced solicitor who will be able to answer any of your questions and ensure that your case gets full attention and every detail of your case is properly considered.

What level of compensation can I claim for a car accident?

Injuries suffered in a car accident whether as a driver or a passenger or if your were hit by a car vary from simple and straightforward whiplash type injuries, to more serious and life changing injuries.

The amount of your award for your injuries will depend on the seriousness of the injury and the effect your injuries may have had on your work and home life. As an illustration of the sort of awards that are made for injuries following a car accident please visit this page.

When there are serious injuries, there is often a need for a number of medical and other expert assessments to be made before the value of your claim can be assessed properly and professionally. Our team of compensation lawyers will also ensure that you claim for all losses that you can, including losses that you have suffered already and losses that you are likely to suffer in the future. Therefore, in order to recover all your financial losses and expenses, you should preserve any documentary and/or photographic evidence, such as payslips, invoices, photographs of damage property, etc.

Am I entitled to claim if the accident is my fault?

Our team of lawyers will be able to advise you whether there is a reasonable prospect of recovering compensation when you contributed to the accident. We will look at whether another party is also to blame even if you are partly to blame for the accident.

If you were in a car when the driver of the car was to blame, you can claim as a passenger.
If you were not wearing a seatbelt you can claim, though your compensation may be reduced.
You should speak to one of our car accident compensation lawyers to find out if you can claim.

Levenes represented me in a traffic incident case. I could not be happier with their constant cooperation and professionalism in dealing with the case. I was informed at every stage and I was very pleased with the outcome of the case. I give my special thanks to solicitor Desi Fudulska, who took on the case wholeheartedly and ensured its success. I am very grateful for all her help and would highly recommend working with her. Thank you very much, Levenes! Vesselin
