We understand the challenges faced by families as they struggle to cope and adapt after a car accident causes life-changing injury. Cars are often the preferred way for families and groups of friends to travel together, so car accidents often affect multiple people. Depending on the circumstances, feelings of guilt, blame and loss after a traumatic accident can also harm the relationships between family and friends. The thought of making a claim in these circumstances can seem overwhelming, but our clients discover that the extensive needs of the injured person can best be met by compensation. Our supportive and experienced solicitors regularly bring claims for clients in sensitive circumstances, such as: claims involving children and teenagers; claims arising from negligent driving by family members; claims against friends; claims involving multiple people; claims against someone who has died. When deciding to make a claim, many clients find it helpful to remember that: the driver’s insurance company has a legal/contractual responsibility to pay compensation to those injured by their insured driver’s negligence, so it is usually the insurer which handles the claim for the negligent driver; car accident injury claims are civil claims for compensation rather than criminal proceedings; in most of our clients’ cases liability is agreed and settlement negotiated without the need for court proceedings or attendance at court; insurer-funded rehabilitation improves the injured child, teenager or adult’s prospects of recovery, and compensation ensures that their ongoing needs will be met.
