Making a Claim after a Road Traffic Accident

If you've been in a car crash or any other road accident, you may want to make a claim with no win no fee solicitors Preston. Car accidents are regularly seen by personal injury solicitors Preston, and handling these cases is usually quite straightforward, but there are a number of things you can do to support your claim.

At the scene of the accident

Do not say that you are sorry or say you were to blame for the accident. Doing so could invalidate your insurance policy. Don't allow yourself to be intimidated into accepting blame - call the police immediately if you are concerned. You will also have to call the police and ambulance service if someone is injured in the accident.

Exchange contact information with witnesses, drivers and other involved parties. Note down the car's registration number as well. 

Photographs can support your claim, so photograph anything that shows how the accident happened and the damage to your car.

After the accident

You should then immediately inform your insurance provider about the accident. Do this even if you do not plan to make a compensation claim with personal injury solicitors Preston, as failing to do so could also invalidate your policy.

Once you have spoken to your insurance company, contact a team of no win no fee solicitors Preston to help you in your claim.
