What is the time limit for a road traffic accident claim?
Under normal circumstances, you will have three years from the date of an accident to pursue road traffic accident compensation.
However, there are certain exceptions to this rule, including where you are claiming on behalf of a child, or for someone who lacks mental capacity.
If you are making a claim for a child, you have until they turn 18 to make a claim. When they turn 18, they have until they are 21 to make a claim for themselves.
If you are making a claim on behalf of someone who lacks mental capacity, such as if they have suffered a brain injury, there are no time limits.
Do I have to go to court to make a traffic accident claim?
Many road traffic accident claims can be resolved without the need for court proceedings. The advantage of this is that our solicitors can minimise the stress you may be facing and settle claims much faster.
In certain situations, a defendant or their insurer may deny liability for the accident or disagree with the compensation on offer. Here, it may be necessary to head to court to reach a settlement. If you do need to go to court to reach a settlement, our Isle of Wight team can support you through the process.
I’m unhappy with my solicitor, can I transfer my road traffic accident claim to Novum Law?
We are often contacted by people who have started a car accident claim with another firm but are not happy with the results. This could be because the claim is taking too long, or they are not satisfied with the value of compensation that had been awarded.
If you have started a road traffic accident claim with a different firm and are not happy with the results, our team can give you a second opinion. We have taken on many personal injury cases from other firms and are experienced in securing maximum damages.
