Road Traffic Accidents

We help many people with accidents that have taken place in the street, usually involving one or more vehicles and often pedestrians and passengers in the vehicles. Injuries range from being shaken up to very serious injuries and death.

Pedestrians and passengers in the vehicles will nearly always recover compensation, because they can show that one (or more) of the vehicle drivers caused the accident.

If you are the driver of the vehicle, you will be able to claim if you can show that someone else, usually another driver, is in some degree to blame.

How much will I get?

This depends on the extent of your injuries and whether you have made a full recovery or not. One of our lawyers would advise you of the type of compensation you might get.

In addition to compensation for your injuries, you may also be able to recover compensation for your lost wages. If as a result of the accident you are unable to work in the future, then you will be awarded a figure in respect of your future loss of earnings.

How long will it take?

This largely depends on the severity of your injuries and how long it takes you to make a recovery. Even if you make a full recovery from your injury within say 6 months of the accident, it may well be a further 6 18 months before you obtain compensation. This is often due to the delay in obtaining medical reports.

In cases of serious injury where there is permanent disability, it may take even longer to finally settle the claim. However, in these cases it is possible to apply for an interim payment on account of the final amount.

Who will pay my costs?

Pepperells Solicitors are able to come to a no win no fee arrangement with clients in order to minimise the costs for them. This is something that should be discussed in detail with one of our specialist personal injury lawyers.
