Unfortunately, car accidents are extremely common. From the more severe crashes to car park bumps, car accidents can cause injury and extensive damage. Also, because the car is so many people’s primary mode of transport, a car accident can cause major inconvenience if it has to be repaired or if the driver has to be without it for any length of time. If you are involved in a car accident and it is not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation.
If you are involved in a car accident, following any medical treatment you might need at the scene, make sure you exchange details with any other driver or drivers involved, and that the police are alerted. The first consideration should be your safety and the safety of others. If a driver does not have any insurance, make sure that the police know as they may have to issue a charge of driving without insurance. If this is the case, it does not necessarily mean you will not receive any compensation. The Motor Insurers Bureau was set up to provide some level of compensation for drivers who are the victims of accidents involving other drivers who are not insured.
Once you have exchanged details, you can help any subsequent car accident claim by gathering any evidence about how the accident happened. If you can, take pictures of the scene of the accident, even if they are only on your mobile ‘phone. Talk to, and get the contact details of any witnesses to the accident so that your personal injury solicitor can speak with them later if their account is helpful to your accident claim. Also, get the contact details of the policeman running your case, as any subsequent charges or emerging evidence may be very useful in compiling you car accident claim.
