When can I Claim for a Road Traffic Accident?

For an accident to be a road traffic accident, it must occur on a road or a place to which the public have access, for example, a bridleway or footpath. Road traffic accidents can be caused by a wide variety of human factors, for instance, drink or drug-driving, speeding, or simple lack of attention, as well as environmental factors, such as heavy rain, icy roads, or potholes. Any road user – whether a car driver, bus passenger, or pedestrian or whether riding a bicycle, a motorbike, or even a horse – can make a claim for an injury suffered in a road traffic accident that wasn’t their fault.

What to do if you Have Been Involved in an Accident on the Road

First and foremost: make sure that you and everyone in your party are alright, and arrange urgent medical assistance for anyone who needs it.

It is also advisable to write down registration numbers, take photographs of vehicle damage and, if possible, obtain witness statements.

If you didn’t manage to get the contact details of the other parties in the accident, don’t worry, you just need to contact the police within 24 hours. You should also get a Police Incident Report to assist with your claim.
