A road traffic accident can cause physical injuries, emotional strain, and sudden disruption, and our solicitors explain your rights clearly from the outset.
If another road user caused the accident, you can pursue compensation as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian, and our team helps confirm liability and assess your losses.
Many claims depend on establishing who caused the collision, and our solicitors assess liability from the earliest stage. Passengers can usually claim because they are rarely responsible for the accident.
Also, we frequently see severe and sometimes catastrophic injuries in motorcycle cases, especially when another driver pulls from a side road without looking.
Rear-end collisions often cause whiplash, back pain, or shoulder injuries, and these remain valid claims even when injuries appear minor. Injury severity, speed, and collision circumstances all influence the compensation available.
By reviewing the evidence and understanding how the accident occurred, NJSLlaw will help build a strong, well-supported claim.
Our clients’ experiences show how road traffic accidents can cause lasting injuries and financial disruption, and how legal support helps stabilise recovery.
One client suffered knee, back, and dashboard-impact injuries in a rear-end collision, leaving him unable to continue his manual job until treatment and rehabilitation began.
Another client sustained catastrophic facial fractures and leg injuries in a high-speed collision, requiring surgery, physiotherapy, and long-term support to manage daily tasks.
Our solicitors guided both clients through the claims process, confirmed liability, and secured compensation that supported their recovery and long-term well-being.

Yes, you can usually make a road traffic accident claim if the accident meets certain legal criteria.
The collision must usually have happened within the last three years.
Another road user must have been partly or fully responsible.
You must have suffered physical or psychological injuries linked to the collision.
Our solicitors review your circumstances, explain your options clearly, and guide you through each stage of the claims process.
We offer a free, no-obligation consultation that explains your rights and outlines your next steps.
Eligibility also depends on the evidence available to show how the collision happened and who caused it. Medical records, witness statements, dashcam footage, and police reports can all support your case.
Passengers can usually claim because they rarely control the vehicle, even when travelling with the driver who caused the collision.
Motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians may also qualify due to the higher risk of serious injury.
Your compensation should cover every loss caused by the accident, and we help you identify each category of financial, physical, and emotional harm.
Compensation includes payment for pain, suffering, and emotional distress linked to your injuries.
You can claim for lost earnings and reduced future income if your injuries affect your ability to work.
Medical treatment, rehabilitation, medication costs, and specialist therapies can all form part of your claim.
Vehicle repair or replacement costs are included when your car is damaged or written off.
Reasonable travel expenses, treatment costs, and other out-of-pocket losses can also be recovered.
You may recover the cost of ongoing care, including paid support or assistance from family members.
Compensation for a road traffic accident depends on the severity of your injuries, the length of your recovery, and how the collision affects your daily life.
Medical evidence, including assessments from specialists and details of ongoing symptoms, plays a central role in determining the value of your claim.
Financial losses, such as reduced income, treatment costs, and travel expenses, are also considered when calculating compensation.
Compensation may be higher for injuries that require surgery, physiotherapy, or long-term medication because of extended recovery time.
Psychological effects, such as anxiety or reduced confidence when travelling, may also be included if supported by a medical professional.
Evidence of how the accident happened, including photographs, dashcam footage, or witness accounts, helps establish liability and support your claim.
Clients who cannot return to their previous work often recover additional compensation for future income losses.
The length of a road traffic accident claim depends on injury severity, liability position, and how quickly medical evidence becomes available.
Straightforward claims where the other driver admits fault can settle within a few months.
More complex cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability may take longer because medical prognosis and legal investigation are required.
Claims usually progress more quickly when appropriate evidence, such as medical records, dashcam footage, and witness statements, is gathered early.
Our solicitors explain expected timelines at the outset and keep you updated throughout your case.
A No Win No Fee agreement removes financial risk by ensuring you do not pay legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
If your claim succeeds, an agreed percentage is deducted from your compensation to cover legal costs.
We explain the agreement clearly at the outset so you understand exactly how it works.
Compensation varies based on injury severity, recovery time, and medical evidence.
These are general examples based on typical road traffic accident cases:
Minor whiplash with recovery within months: lower compensation range.
Moderate back or neck injuries with ongoing symptoms: mid-range awards.
Serious fractures, surgery, or long-term symptoms: significantly higher awards.
Exact values depend on medical assessments and the specific circumstances of your case.
Being injured in a road traffic accident can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure of your rights or worried about what comes next. Our expert solicitors provide clear, honest advice and manage every aspect of your claim, so you can focus on recovery while we fight for the compensation you deserve.
