Road Accident Compensation

Traffic on the roads is increasing, and so is the prospect of being involved in an accident. More than a million people each year have a right to compensation for injury, car damage and many other losses, caused by a road accident. Whether you already have a claim pending or you want to be ready should the need arise, this book serves as a guide to understanding, and making the most of, a road accident claim. It explains clearly what must be done to prove your claim, how to fund it and what happens if you have to go to court. It suggests possible answers to questions such as: "what can I claim for?"; "how much will I get?"; and "how long will it take?" Other topics discussed include claims on behalf of children and the elderly, fatal accidents, accidents abroad, and what to do if things seem to be going wrong. By knowing what to do in case of an accident, what you can claim for and what you need to do to prove your losses, you can be in control of your claim. This book helps you give clear instructions to your solicitor, improving the chances of being succesful with your claim and receiving the best compensation obtainable in the circumstances.
