Our job is to prove who’s at fault in a road traffic accident claim and understanding driver behaviour is a vital.
It may be that you or someone you know has been involved in a road traffic accident and you’re not sure what to do next. Road traffic accidents can result in serious injuries but even if the injuries sustained are relatively minor, they can be debilitating and result in time off work and you are entitled to make a claim for compensation for any injury sustained.
After an accident it is important to ensure you have the right information at hand. This will include the names and addresses of any drivers involved in the accident, together with their vehicle registration numbers and insurance information, if possible.
Before doing anything else, you should gather information to help establish the cause of the accident. This may include including dash-cam footage, locations of any CCTV and bus lane cameras. If there were any witnesses, it would be helpful to your case if you obtained contact details for them as we may need to speak to them in time.
When representing a client who has been involved in a road traffic accident, it is important to understand the driver’s behaviour. We need to carry out necessary checks and gather the all the evidence to establish who was at fault. We will use our expertise and experience to fully investigate the accident circumstances.

When dealing with any accident claim, it is important to establish who was at fault. In order to start your road traffic accident claim, we will ask you or your representative to collect and supply as much information possible.
If your car needs repairing or is written off following your road traffic accident, we can arrange for you to have a replacement vehicle. If you’re a driver who uses your car to earn a living, we even have a fast track system to get you back on the road within 24 hours, including providing taxi drivers with a replacement plated vehicle. We will also apply for interim payments if you are losing earnings to help you meet your immediate daily expenses.
If the road traffic accident has caused serious injuries, compensation is probably the last thing on your mind. We understand that you will need the help and support to ensure you get back on track as soon as possible. We will put together an application to secure funding for any medical treatment you may need and are experienced in putting together complex rehabilitation packages, where appropriate.
We understand that sometimes you just want to know if you have a claim or not without speaking to someone. We’ve built our eligibility calculator to help you out. We don’t collect the details from this form unless you submit an enquiry and you’ll be able to get a good idea as to whether you have a claim or not from the result.
Once you’ve completed the questions and got your result, regardless of the answer you may still want to speak to a professional who may offer further advice or routes to a successful claim. If that’s the case you can start your road traffic accident claim process today.
We acted on behalf of a young man who sustained multiple injuries in a high speed collision, whilst travelling as a passenger in a car. Responsibility for the accident was strenuously denied on the basis that it was alleged his client was aware that the driver of the car was uninsured and had no licence. The seriousness of the injuries suffered lead to a settlement of £1,200,000, which included a claim for care and prosthetics, as it was clear that one of the Claimant’s legs would need to be amputated at a future date. In complex cases like this, it’s very important that you work with a solicitor who has extensive experience of securing high levels of compensation for victims of serious road traffic accidents. At TJL, we have a team who can offer expert advice on serious injury cases, involving the most complex injuries.
We acted for a 12 year old girl who was involved in a serious road traffic accident when she was hit by a car whilst crossing the road at a zebra crossing. She sustained head injuries and initially it was thought she had made a full recovery. She was initially represented by another firm of lawyers and had been offered around £15,000 for her case. We were instructed after the Court refused to approve that award and further evidence was obtained to support the claim. Ultimately, the case was settled for over £300,000, 20 times the initial sum offered.
