If you or any one of your family has been involved in a road traffic accident that is not your fault and has sustained an injury, you may be able to bring a car accident claim against the party at fault to recover:
- Compensation for your injuries
- The cost of repairs to, or for the loss of your vehicle
- The cost of hiring another vehicle
- The cost of treatment and ongoing care if this becomes necessary
- Loss of earnings and any other out-of-pocket expenses
Even if the responsible driver is not insured you are still within your rights to claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau, an organisation set up to provide compensation to peolpe who are injured by uninsured and untraced drivers.
Also, if you are a passenger in a vehicle that is involved in an accident and you get injured, then you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim, even if the person who is driving the vehicle you are in is at fault.
