Frequently Asked Questions;
Anyone who has been involved in a road traffic accident that was not their fault, including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users, can make a claim.
Generally, the statute of limitations for making a personal injury claim, including road traffic accidents, is typically two years from the date of the accident.
Nevertheless, there are exceptions to this rule, particularly for minors or individuals with disabilities.
To begin with, to make a claim, you will need to provide your solicitor with details about the accident.
This includes the time and location of the incident, identities and contact information of the involved parties, addresses, car registrations, as well as insurance details.
The duration of a road traffic accident claim can vary. Generally, you can expect it to take around one to three years to settle.
This is because the timeframe depends on how complex the case is and how severe the injuries are.
You begin the process by gathering information, then obtain a medical report from your doctor, and finally submit an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB).
However, if both parties do not accept the assessment, the case may proceed to court.
Consultation with a solicitor specializing in personal injury claims is highly recommended to ensure fair compensation is received.
Fortunately, guidance through the claims process can be provided by our expert Personal Injury solicitors, and necessary evidence can be gathered. In doing so, a better position for achieving a successful outcome will be ensured.
