When you think of road traffic collisions, you probably think of whiplash or broken bones, but what if it was more than that? There is the potential for brain or spinal injury or other types of injury that could prevent you from earning. This raises a number of concerns about paying the mortgage, paying your bills, or caring for yourself and your family.
At Augustines Injury Law we are a specialist team of personal injury lawyers with vast experience of handling all types of personal injury claims including claims arising from serious road collisions. You could have been injured when you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist.
You could also have been injured when using an e-scooter or suffered an injury which involved an animal.
If you have been injured in a hit and run accident and the driver is never identified or if a vehicle is not insured you can still potentially bring a claim in compensation.
We are experienced in handling even the most serious road traffic accident claims. Our Personal Injury team will deal with your claim as quickly as possible, with the aim of achieving the best possible compensation for you.
The specialist personal injury solicitors at Augustines are experienced in claims for individuals with varying levels of vulnerability. We can advise children, the elderly, the severely injured or those who cannot bring the claim themselves, and need a close relative or friend to do it for them.
We are accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and recognised as a top tier personal injury claims law firm by legal directories. We are also accredited by Headway. You can feel confident your claim is in good hands.
Many people will want to know how much compensation they will receive. Our lawyers can advise on this, but will need the medical reports on the injuries before doing so.
The compensation will be based on the opinion of the medical expert as to how the injuries will affect the injured party both at the time of the report and for the future.
Compensation falls into two parts, namely compensation for the injuries and compensation for financial losses. Loss of earnings is a major part of many claims and can be claimed up to normal retirement age if the medical report supports the fact that the claimant is unable to work. In the case of the most severe injuries, the cost of care can be claimed for the future as well as any adaptions to the house or any specialist equipment needed to allow the injured party to live independently in their own home.
The thought of how to pay their legal costs can be a major concern for the injured party.
We offer a "no win, no fee" agreement in cases where we feel the prospects of success are reasonable. If the case does not succeed there is nothing for the client to pay in legal costs. If the case succeeds, a percentage of the compensation is deducted but this will be no more than 25% of the compensation.
Our experts can provide further advice on this at the start of your road traffic collision claim, to put your mind at rest that you will not face a large legal bill at the end.
If, tragically, somebody dies as a result of an road traffic collision then there will be an inquest into his or her death.
Our expert solicitors can arrange representation and provide legal advice for families at inquests in the Coroners Courts. As experts in our field we can make sure you get the answers you are entitled to from the coroner's investigation.
Our extensive legal expertise enables our personal injury solicitors to recover millions of pounds in compensation every year, whilst at the same time providing a friendly and approachable service to clients nationally.
