Accidents on the Road

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. As the injuries that are caused by road traffic accidents are often quite severe, compensation can be an essential element in ensuring that you get the treatment you need.

Compensation can help to recover losses in income or other costs, such as repairing your vehicle if it was damaged in the accident. Whether you were a cyclist, passenger, pedestrian or a cyclist, First Personal Injury can represent you.

We have more information about Road Traffic Accidents available on our website.

How much compensation am I owed?

Compensation is decided on a case by case basis, taking into account the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon your ability to function/your amenity. For example, if you can no longer complete tasks that you normally could, you may be able to be compensated for this loss of ability.

Compensation also takes financial loss into account. If you have experienced a loss of income due to your injuries, then it may be possible to account for this loss of income through compensation. Similarly, if you have had to pay for treatment or other costs associated with your injuries, it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator. However, it is important to remember that these figures are just estimates based upon previous cases. The best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your case is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.
