Most claims are settled out of court, but if it’s required, our experienced car accident solicitors are ready to represent you in court.
Can You Claim If You're Partially at Fault?
Yes, even if you were partly responsible for the accident, you could still be able to claim compensation. This is known as contributory negligence. Your compensation may be adjusted based on your level of responsibility.
Example: If you are deemed 30% at fault, you could still receive 70% of the total compensation amount.
What If the Other Driver Is Uninsured or Cannot Be Traced?
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or left the scene (hit and run), you can usually still pursue a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). We have extensive experience handling MIB claims and, if you choose us, we will fight for your compensation.
