What Are Car Accident Claims?
Car accident claims allow you to seek compensation after a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault. You could claim for injuries, vehicle damage, medical costs, or lost earnings. If you’re a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist, you may be eligible for compensation following an accident caused by someone else’s negligence.
You’ll need to demonstrate that another party was at fault, and that the incident resulted in losses or injuries.
If the accident resulted in a fatality, your family, or dependants could claim for financial loss and emotional distress, provided liability is clear.
If your claim proceeds, our solicitors will assess your eligibility, gather supporting evidence, and represent your interests. You’ll receive free initial advice and step-by-step guidance—from reporting the accident to negotiating with insurers and handling correspondence.

What Types of Car Accidents Can Lead To A Claim?
You could be entitled to compensation after various types of car accidents if another party was at fault. Most commonly, claims arise from incidents such as:
- Rear-end collisions: If your vehicle’s struck from behind because the other driver failed to brake in time, a strong claim often exists.
- Side impacts at junctions: If a driver pulls out and misjudges your speed or distance, resulting in a collision, you’ll likely have grounds to claim.
- Accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists: Where you’re injured as a vulnerable road user, like a pedestrian or cyclist, due to a driver’s negligence, compensation becomes possible.
- Hit and run or uninsured drivers: If you suffer injury and the driver either leaves the scene or lacks insurance, claims remain possible via the Motor Insurers’ Bureau.
- Multi-vehicle collisions: If involvement in a crash with several vehicles results in injuries through no fault of your own, eligibility for compensation is likely.
Our solicitors will use their expertise to establish liability, gather evidence like witness statements and medical reports, and make sure each claim type is managed under the relevant legal track. If you’re unsure whether your accident qualifies for a car accident claim, why not contact us today to discover how our experienced team could support you?
Am I Entitled To Make A Car Accident Claim?
You may be entitled to make a car accident claim if you’ve suffered an injury or financial loss in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault.
The main factors that indicate your eligibility are:

- That duty was not upheld, and this caused your accident
- You suffered a physical injury, psychological harm, or financial loss.
When you contact Car Accident Compensation Advice, you’ll receive free legal advice about your eligibility.

Evidence for Car Accident Compensation Claims
Supporting evidence plays a crucial role in strengthening your car accident claim. Insurers expect clear proof that another party was responsible for the incident and that losses or injuries resulted directly from the accident. Assembling comprehensive evidence increases your chances of securing fair compensation, especially when liability’s disputed.
You’ll benefit from collecting the following types of evidence for your car accident compensation claim:
- Police reports: Official records from the police if they attended the scene detail when and how the incident happened
- Medical evidence: Hospital notes, prescriptions, and injury documentation show accident-related harm and required treatment
- Dashcam or CCTV footage: Video from dashcams or nearby security cameras verifies the circumstances and sequence of events
- Photographs: Clear images of vehicle damage, road conditions, skid marks, injuries, and traffic signs provide factual support
- Witness statements: Accounts from independent witnesses who saw the collision help confirm your version of events
- Financial records: Receipts and wage slips evidence any out-of-pocket expenses, medical costs or lost earnings
If your case is accepted, one of our solicitors will help you identify, obtain, and preserve the right evidence, making the process easier and ensuring no key detail’s missed. You’ll receive guidance on which documents will maximise your claim’s value and help recover your losses as efficiently as possible.
We’re happy to review any evidence you’ve already collected as we offer a free initial consultation. Therefore, please give us a call today so that we can explain your options.
Important Considerations for Car Accident Claims
Understanding the key factors that affect car accident claims will help you make informed decisions about your case. You’ll get support at every stage from our team of expert solicitors, who’ll guide you through time limits, compensation options and the evidence needed for a successful claim.
Car Accident Claim Time Limits
Car accident claims are typically subject to strict time limits. Under the Limitation Act 1980, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to start your claim. Our solicitors will assess your circumstances, ensuring you don’t miss this important deadline, even if exceptions might apply. With timely advice, you’ll maximise your chances of securing compensation.
What Compensation Can I Claim?
The compensation available covers more than just your immediate losses. You could claim for:
- General damages (pain, suffering, loss of amenity)
- Special damages (medical expenses, lost earnings, repair costs, travel expenses)
Our solicitors will review each aspect of your case to include all eligible damages, collecting the documentation needed to prove your entitlement. Every detail will be considered to make sure your car accident claim reflects your actual losses.
Time Limits For Car Accident Claims
Specific rules apply for certain claims. If the claim involves a child, the three-year period starts from their 18th birthday. For those with diminished mental capacity, the clock may not start unless capacity is regained. Our solicitors will identify any exceptions, helping you navigate complex situations and ensuring your claim meets legal requirements.
Why Use A No Win No Fee Solicitor?
Choosing a No Win No Fee solicitor for your car accident claim protects you from upfront legal costs and financial risk. Under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), you won’t pay your solicitor’s fees before or during the process, and if your claim isn’t successful, you won’t pay legal fees at all. If you succeed, your solicitor’s fee comes from a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation, which is legally capped. This arrangement ensures you keep most of your compensation and start the claims process without financial barriers.
Our solicitors will assess your eligibility, advise on the merits of your claim, and clearly explain what compensation you could receive. You’ll receive expert guidance on the next steps, help collecting evidence, and ongoing support in negotiations with insurers or the party at fault. The team will update you transparently on costs, so you’ll always understand your options.
