Traffic Accident

No Win No Fee Claim Compensation

PEDESTRIANS

There’s a pretty high traffic accident rate involving pedestrians all around the world. Of course, the blame is not always the car driver’s. But even when it’s the other way around, the persons who are involved in these clashes as pedestrians have a tendency to put the blame on themselves, which is not always the case. Usually a collision between a pedestrian and a car involves great injuries, of course, not for the car. If you have gone through such a situation and think you are not to blame for what happened, you really have to know your rights. Because there’s a big possibility you can claim.

CYCLISTS

Usually, cyclists suffer from injuries due to the fact that the cars involved in traffic don’t see them. Riding either motorbikes or simple bikes, cyclists are one of the most vulnerable categories of vehicles which participate in traffic. A big number of all the accidents involve a passenger car crossing over a cyclist’s path and thus provoking a collision. The cyclist may often suffer serious injuries due to the lack of protection from the outside world.

CAR DRIVERS

Because of the ever increasing number of cars worldwide each year, car accidents are bound to happen more frequently than ever. The main causes for car accidents seem to be driving under the influence and losing focus while driving because of distractions like cell phones. The sad part is that most of these accidents can be prevented with just a little bit of driver common sense.

Now what happens if you get involved in an accident that was someone else’s fault? You try to keep your concentration on the road ahead, you go in normal speed limits, and still you get crashed by a reckless driver. This is a very frustrating scenario as it seems that sometimes is just a matter of bad luck. And a traffic accident can have dramatic consequences upon the life of a person or an entire family.

Here’s where the traffic accident claim comes in. Right after the accident, you need to do a few things. First, you need to gather as much evidence as you can from the accident scene. And I’m talking about things like: the other car driver’s details (address, phone number, etc.). Then, see if there are any witnesses and do the same with them. If you’re lucky enough and have a photo camera with you, take pictures of your car, emphasizing the damage it suffered. Also, take pictures of the other car involved in the accident and of the accident place. Write down the weather conditions present at the time of the unfortunate event. Try not to discuss anything to the other party involved in the accident, leave that to your lawyer. Finally, contact the police.

When you get home, the first thing you need to do is to find a good attorney who has vas experience regarding traffic accident claims. He will take the case from there. He will examine your evidence and appoint a medical examination, if you haven’t already done that. Medical examinations need to be made regularly, on a time basis established by your attorney. This is a must because not all the long-term repercussions of your injuries can be foreseen right after the accident.

Usually, in accidents which do not have serious consequences, an agreement is reached between the two parts without the need to go to Court. Your attorney will do everything is in his powers to get you a compensation for every bruise you suffered. Along with that, you will probably get compensation for things like: the damage your vehicle has sustained, the damage your other properties have suffered, your medical expenses, even your phone bills. Money reward is the least anyone can get when suffering a traffic accident, and this is made in the form of the traffic accident claim.

The quest of finding a good specialist is not that hard. There are many good companies that have very well trained attorneys who will gladly help you on a no win no fee basis only. Either a work accident or an automobile accident, you name it, it doesn’t really matter as long as you are able to prove that the accident was entirely another party’s fault. Still, there’s a psychological factor that make accident victims who are entitled for a claim decide not to pursue the legal actions required. This is either because they are afraid of the repercussions at the workplace, or the simply try to avoid going to Court. The fact of the matter is that unless a very serious accident happened, your case will probably not have to go to Court.
