Frequently Asked Questions

What is my claim worth?

The monetary value of a claim is based on the injury sustained in the accident and this varies.

You may think that your injury is not worth claiming for but a whiplash type injury is worth in the region of £1950.

You can then add such things as lost wages etc. If you have suffered multiple injuries and are looking for a guide using our calculator it is not just a matter of adding up the injuries.

You should get guidance on this matter, which can be done by either chatting to a claims advisor online, by calling 08000 74 81 34

I was a passenger and the accident was the drivers fault, can I still claim?

Yes you can still claim for your injuries. This is because the accident wasn’t your fault. Even if your partner, friend or relative were driving, you can still make a claim.

We would need the driver and car details for both vehicles but all injured passengers are entitled to claim compensation for any injuries suffered.

Is there a time limit?

Yes. Normally it is 3 years from the date of your accident. By the end of 3 years you must have settled your claim or started action, otherwise your claim may be time-barred.

In Industrial Disease cases (deafness, asbestos, VWF, stress etc) complex rules apply to when the 3 year period starts. We can advise you about this in more detail during our initial free discussion.

For children’s claims, the 3 years does not start to run until their 18th birthday. The time limit is therefore their 21st birthday.

We are happy to offer a free initial chat, without obligation.

The other driver was not insured

Don’t worry. You can still claim but your claim will be against the Motor Insurers Bureau. This is a body set up by the insurance industry to handle claims against uninsured drivers. There are some technical differences on how the claim is handled, but you still recover compensation if you were not to blame.
