A professional solicitor will talk about all the details of the case with you and gather more information to build a case, and to work out the specifics. This information not only covers negligence and fault but also evidence to assist your case and to ensure that you have a reasonable chance of a successful claim.
Information For Injured Drivers
If you were driving but the accident was not caused by you then you should also claim for damages to your car in addition to injuries caused to you and any other passengers. Your claim will usually be paid by the opposite car owner???s insurance policy.
Information For Injured Pedestrians
