If you have been injured in an accident that was the fault of another group or individual, even if they were only partly to blame, then you may have an Accident Compensation Claim. There are several common accident types.
Road Traffic Accident
If you have been injured in a road accident, whether as a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist, you may have a Accident Compensation Claim against the driver responsible or even partly responsible for the accident. Vehicle users are required by law to have insurance and the Road Accident Claim is most likely to be dealt with by the responsible driver's insurance company. Even if there isn't a police prosecution, you may still have a Road Traffic Accident Claim. Even if the responsible driver is not insured you may still claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau, an organisation established to compensate the injured victims of uninsured and untraced drivers.
