Road traffic accident solicitors Manchester: Common types of road traffic accident claims

Road traffic accident claims are made as a result of a number of different types of accidents. The most common types of road traffic accident claims we handle include:

Car accidents – Car accidents are, unfortunately, fairly common in the UK with over 25,000 drivers being involved in critical accidents within the last year.

Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle Accident claims are one of the most common types of claim. Motorcycle accidents are so common as many road users do not pay enough attention when driving and often do not see motorcyclists when pulling out of junctions or switching lanes.

Cycling accidents – Cycling Accident claims are one of the most common types of personal injury claim. Unfortunately, cyclists are very vulnerable on the roads. They have little protection if they are involved in any collision (especially if they are hit by a car or other vehicle).

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident listed above, you could be eligible to make a road traffic accident. Following an accident, you should seek medical attention for your injuries. After this you should report the incident to the authorities and then contact your insurance company.

Road traffic accident solicitors Manchester: What can I recover in a road traffic accident claim?

Road traffic accident claims for compensation are split into two separate claims – general damages and special damages.

General damages refer to the amount of compensation awarded for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity that was caused as a result of your injuries. To calculate this amount, we look at previous cases we have acted for, which are similar to yours, alongside guidelines that are issued to Judges who decide the outcome of these types of claims when they go to court.

Special damages refer to additional losses. These can include:

• Costs for vehicle repair

• Loss of earnings

• Medical expenses

• Costs of care and assistance if you needed help around the home due to your injuries

How long do I have to make a claim?

There is a three-year time limit for all personal injury claims. Your claim will become statute-barred, and you will lose your entitlement to bring a claim for compensation if you do not make a claim within three years of the accident date (or from the date on which you became aware that your injury was caused by the road accident.
