Understanding the impact of your road traffic accident injuries
A road traffic accident can have a big impact on your life. Aside from the pain of physical injury, there's the psychological shock of being suddenly and unexpectedly hurt.
Road accident injuries take time to heal. They may be permanent, life-changing, life-threatening or even cause further health complications. We can't change what you've been through. However, we can guide you through the first steps of making a no win no fee road traffic accident claim.
If you've been hurt by another's negligence, we can help you get the recovery support and road traffic accident compensation you deserve.
When you contact us, it's not just about understanding the severity of your injury. Listening is key. We need to grasp the full impact of events on you, your family, your work life, home life and also your future.
Whether it's temporary or permanent, we'll help you make it right when injury has upset things. Call us on 0800 376 0150, check if you have a potential claim online or book a call back with us at a time to suit you.

What are the time limits for road traffic accident claims?
To qualify for a road traffic accident compensation claim, you must have been hurt within the last three years. The accident must also have been all or partly someone else's fault. All time periods listed below are to settle the claim or start legal proceedings:
If you were 18 or over when the road accident happened, you've got three years to make a personal injury claim from the accident date.
If you were under 18 at the time and no claim was made, you've got three years from your 18th until your 21st birthday to make a claim.
If a loved one was killed in a fatal road accident, you have three years from the date of their passing, or when it was discovered the accident was the cause of their death.
There are circumstances where you may have longer. For example, if you or a loved one suffered a serious head or brain injury and so lacks mental capacity. In this instance, there is no time limit, unless the Claimant regains their mental capacity, at which point the 3 years starts to run, even if they lose capacity again.
If you're feeling unsure, get in touch with us for free and impartial advice on 0800 376 0150. We'll answer all your questions and let you know if we think you could make a no win no fee claim.
Part of our promise to you is that we'll never rush or pressure you into making a claim. We're here to give you the impartial road traffic accident compensation advice you need to decide what's right for you. If you're eligible and decide to proceed, we'll pair you with specialist road traffic accident solicitors. We can usually do this on the same call.
Common types of road traffic accident
Nearly all traffic accidents fall into the following categories:
Car accidents
Passenger accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Cycling accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Don't worry if your road traffic accident injury doesn't easily match these types. For instance, you may have had a fall while riding a horse on the road. We can still help you with sound and independent advice.
