Road Traffic Accidents
If you have been injured in a road traffic accident as a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation even if the driver of the vehicle at fault is not insured. You also may still be able to make a claim if you do not know the identity of the driver at fault. We also specialise in claims on behalf of children, for more information please contact us or alternatively complete our online Claim Form and we will contact you as soon as possible.
You are under no obligation to go through your Personal Injury claim with your insurance company and you have the right to instruct your own solicitor. If you have already started your claim with your insurance company or another solicitor you are entitled to move it to a solicitor of your choice, for more information on moving your claim or if you would just like a second opinion please contact us.
We Guarantee:-
- 100% of the compensation is awarded to you
- A named solicitor dedicated to your case
- Expert advice from our friendly team
At Mackrell & Thomas we understand the impact a road traffic accident can have and using our expertise we try to help clients obtain compensation that is right for their injuries as soon as possible. We have experience dealing with straight forward whiplash claims and claims that may involve other injuries. Claims involving other injuries can take slightly longer dependant on how long it will take for a client to recover from those injuries. At Mackrell & Thomas we ensure our clients injuries are assessed and compensation is awarded at a maximum. For more information please contact us. We can also help recover costs for additional losses and expenses incurred such as loss of wages and travel expenses.
In 2008 the Department of Transport recorded over 231,000 road traffic accidents which are the most common cause of personal injury. If liability can be established early in a road traffic accident claim then it should be straightforward and proceed to settlement quickly. At the outset of a road traffic accident claim it is important that clients obtain as much information possible about the accident including vehicle registration numbers, witness details and the insurance details of the party at fault (although this can be obtained at a later date if necessary).
At Mackrell & Thomas we have Road Traffic Accident Guidance Cards that are useful to record vital information at the scene of an accident. We encourage people to keep a card and pen in their vehicle or handbag just in case so in the event of a road traffic accident all of the information can be written on the card. The cards are available from our offices if you are passing as we keep a supply in our waiting room or alternatively if you would like a card sent out to you please do not hesitate to contact us and this can be arranged.
For more information with regards to the other types of claims we deal with please see the individual pages for Accidents at Work and Slips, Trips & Falls.
