What Should I Do If I have Been in An Accident?
Check For Injuries
If you’ve been injured in any form of accident, the first and most important thing to do is to seek urgent medical attention. Accidents of any kind can leave you with serious injuries, and various levels of physical pain and suffering. If you are able to do so, check for injuries amongst anyone else involved in the accident to find out if they need medical attention or not.
If there are any serious injuries in connection with the accident, you should call an ambulance to the scene immediately. If your own injuries don’t seem to be serious initially, make sure that you still visit a doctor as soon as possible, and keep good records of any doctor appointments and diagnoses that you receive. Sometimes an injury can develop at a later stage, and you need to make sure that you limit any possible damage. The medical report will also necessary for your No Win No Fee Claim solicitor to discuss your claim.
Call the Police Or Report The Incident To A Management Body
If you have been involved in a car accident, it might be necessary to call the police to the scene of the accident. It isn’t always necessary to involve the police, and this will largely depend on the situation at hand. If someone is seriously or fatally hurt in an accident, you will have to call the police. Similarly if the accident is a hit and run, you should also call the police, as this is now a criminal case. Lastly, if there is severe damage to the cars and they are blocking traffic and disrupting other road users, you will need to call the police to the scene so that they can manage the incident and move the wreckage. Keep records of all these details, as your No Win No Fee Claim solicitor will ask for any reference numbers or police docket numbers when they discuss your claim.
If an accident happens in your place of work and you suffer an injury, you should complete the workplace accident report book immediately, as far as possible in your own words. You will also need to report the accident to your manager so that your employer is aware of what has transpired. You can ask someone else to report your injury at work for you, if you are unable to do so yourself. Your No Win No Fee Claim solicitor will be sure to utilise this report in support if your compensation claim.
Watch What You Say
It is important to watch what you say in the immediate aftermath of an accident. Tensions are high, and everyone is very stressed at the scene of an accident. One of the biggest mistakes people make is saying too much after an accident. The less you say, the better, as you don’t want to implicate yourself in any way, or affect any future compensation claim you might have.
Gather Information and Evidence
Finally, you should gather as many details and as much evidence as you can from the scene of the accident. As a normal part of the claims process, your solicitor will ask you to share any evidence or details about the accident and your injuries with us, for use in your No Win No Fee Claim. If you can do so, take photos of the scene of the accident, any damage at the scene, and photos of any injuries suffered. Be sure to take down the contact details of all the individuals involved in the accident, as well as the details of any witnesses to the accident. Witness statements may come in handy for a future No Win No Fee Claim, and can help to strengthen your case.

What Is My No Win No Fee Claim Compensation Value?
In personal injury claims generally, compensation amounts are calculated based on how serious the claimant’s personal injuries are, and the type of care that they may need in the future to be able to recover from, or deal with, their injuries.

No Win No Fee claims will usually include claims for what we call general and special damages.

General Damages In No Win No Fee Compensation Claims
There are rules of how much can be claimed as general damages for different levels of injuries in personal injury claims. Your general damages will be calculated by matching your independent medical report with the official Judicial Board Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases. These guidelines are not legally binding, but they are used by lawyers, courts and insurance firms in calculating compensation amounts for various injuries. The amount of compensation that a claimant will receive will be influenced by factors such as how serious their injury was, complications surrounding their injuries, and how long they will take to recover from their injuries.
To claim for special damages, you need to provide proof of the additional expenses or costs you have incurred to date, or will incur in the future, as a result of the accident. The category of special damages is extremely broad, and can include anything from travel costs, costs of medical and rehabilitation appointments, childcare, loss of income, and broader medical expenses such as prescriptions, physiotherapy, counselling, physical home adjustments, and the cost of any special equipment or prosthetics that you might need during the recovery process.
