Injuries sustained in road accidents are some of the most common handled by solicitors working in the no-win, no-fee market. If another driver caused your injury and you can prove that they were negligent in some way, you should have strong grounds to make a no-win, no-fee car accident claim. In addition, if you were just a passenger, and you can show that the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in was negligent, this could also mean a compensation claim could be possible.
The basis of all no-win, no-fee car accident clams is the assignment of negligent behaviour. For example, if the other driver ran through a red light because they didn’t see it as they were under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this would give you excellent grounds for your no-win, no-fee car accident claim. You will need evidence such as police reports to back up your claims, but these documents should be available.

You should also be aware that the amount of money you could receive for your injury will depend on the circumstances of your accident, and the actual injury you have sustained. All no-win, no-fee car accident claims have what is called a general damages component. The law has attached a monetary value to a number of injuries such as whiplash. Your solicitor will always argue for the upper limit of these values based on the severity of your injury.

The solicitors you engage will carefully assess your injury and the circumstances that caused it. Most no-win, no-fee car accident claims will mean negotiating with the insurance company of the other driver. The insurance company will look at your claim and then make an offer to settle. You should discuss the amount offered with your solicitors and decide whether to accept or reject the amount.
