Car Accidents

If you have been involved in a car accident that wasn't your fault, whether you are were a passenger in a car or bus, a driver, a cyclist or even a pedestrian, you may be entitled to compensation for all of the personal injuries that you have suffered. The injuries range from a neck injury - sometimes called a whiplash injury, or a back injury, head injury, chest injury, arm or leg injury to a severe bodily injury or even a psychological injury. We are here to help and ensure that:

  • your injury claim is pursued,
  • the damage to your car is repaired,
  • treatment for you injuries is put in place and
  • we can even provide you with a courtesy car if your car has been damaged

We can even claim compensation where the person at fault wasn't insured or even if they leave the scene of the accident without giving details (hit and run).

Introducing our New Courtesy Car Scheme

Many of you told us what an inconvenience it was when you had been involved in a car accident and had been provided with no, or not very good, transport while you waited for your car to be repaired. It's bad enough having been involved in a car accident without having injuries such as whiplash, shoulder or back injuries made worse by having to lift young children in and out of a two door car when they used to be able to climb in and out of a four door car by themselves. Trying to get used to a different make or significantly different sized car when you're nervous about having to drive again, particularly if the accident happened on your usual route to work or regular route to shops or school, can slow recovery.

We listened and decided to help by teaming up with Easi-Drive Car Hire. Now, if you have been involved in a car accident, we can organise with Easi-Drive to:-

  • Provide you with a car the same day
  • The car will be similar to your own
  • It will be dropped off and picked up from your home
  • If you have been given a courtesy car by your insurers that's too small for your needs, you can swap it for a car from Easi-Drive
  • You can also be provided with a car even if you haven't got a hire car on your insurance

And the best news: the car won't cost you a penny - it can be paid for by the insurers.

What do You do if You have had an Accident?

  • Always obtain the other driver's: car registration number, name, address and insurance details.
  • If the driver refuses to give you these details, still make a note of the registration number.
  • Take photos of the damaged vehicles - camera phones are great for this!
  • Make a sketch of the road layout and show the path of the vehicles before and after the collision
  • Never admit liability. Even if you think you are at fault, always speak to us first.
  • Seek medical help. Don't be embarrassed to go to your Doctor to or to the hospital. You need to have your injuries recorded. Some injuries may not become apparent until 48 hours after the accident.
  • Keep receipts of any expenses, such as painkillers, incurred
  • Contact us. Fill in the form now and one of our friendly team will contact you quickly. Or phone Ashley direct dial on 0116 212 1119.
  • Let us know if children were passengers in your car at the time of the accident, they too may be entitled to compensation.
  • We may also be able to claim compensation for injuries sustained by other adult passengers.
