If you are a victim of a car accident, there are implications that arise from insurers which might amount to an unnecessary amount of pressure. If you seek legal advice, Ackroyd Legal will be able to walk you through the claiming and compensation process clearly and efficiently to ensure you get the best results.
Handling an Incident:
- After the accident, it is strongly advised that you notify the police, and necessary if the party at fault is refusing to give details of their name, address and insurance before leaving the scene.
- If they do so, this is an offence and your own willingness to cooperate will be regarded in your favour as you make your claim.
- Furthermore, the police can help survey the scene to determine which party is at fault.
After the accident, your insurer will likely wish to contact you and reach a conclusion; however, it is important to seek a legal perspective before you proceed.
Making a Claim:
Accidents are most commonly caused by:
- Spillages such as diesel and oil on the road, making the surface slippery.
- By hitting potholes where the council has neglected to maintain the road.
- From another road user’s careless driving where they have done something unpredictable or have overlooked you.
