How Long Will A Car Accident Claim Take?

We understand that often you want the claim to be over as soon as possible. Your expert solicitor will be able to tell you how long the claim will take once they have found out how bad your injuries are and whether you will need any medical treatment. Once you have passed on your details to your solicitor they will take care of the claim for you and will keep you advised of all developments.

How Much Compensation Will I Receive?

You will receive the right amount of compensation for your losses and injuries. This will include compensation for your pain and suffering and also for your losses and expenses including lost earnings, transport and treatment costs. The average car accident compensation claim that we take care of results in an award between £3,000 to £5,000, although often it is a lot more. Because all of our car accident claim solicitors are specialists, people who use 1stClaims often obtain larger compensation awards than those who use other claims companies or solicitors.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Claim?

The basic rule is three years from the date of the accident, or three years from your 18th birthday. However, like every rule it can change or be changed. If you are in any doubt about whether you can make a claim please contact us as soon as possible free of charge on 0800 2888 693 and let us provide you with a free, no obligation opinion. Once you understand your legal rights, you can then decide whether you would like to take any further action, but at least we will be able to put your mind at rest.

What If I Am Injured In A Car Accident?

Wherever you are in the UK, we have in place a national treatment network to ensure that you can receive treatment at no cost to you as soon as possible. We understand that you might need to get back to work quickly, or that you just want the pain to go away. Our private treatment will help to achieve this for you.
