To some people filing a car insurance claim may feel like a daunting task, but in the majority of cases they are wrong, as claims like these rarely go to Court.


Car insurance is practically a legal agreement between an insurance company and a person, and it is meant to assure the compensation of financial losses that resulted from hazardous situations, like an accident. Making car insurance claim (depending on coverage) is the thing which you want to do if you want to be protected against different expenses that only happened because of the accident.

The insurance claims are made by people that were hurt physically (and psychologically) in an accident that happened because somebody made a mistake.

Car Insurance Accident Claims

Sometimes people who are victims of accidents don't quite feel like starting the car insurance claim procedure, because they fear it would be too much hassle. But that is rarely true. One should begin with searching for an experienced personal injury solicitor. Some people however will prefer to let the insurance policy to take care of it. That is if the insurance covers his particular situation.

Well let me tell you how things go from there. The company will give you a randomly chosen injury solicitor to "help you out". The data from the accident and your personal details will be given to the random injury solicitor firm which you don't know anything about. Insurance companies have contracts with such firms. But are you ok with that? I know I wouldn't.

However, you do have another option, and that is to look for yourself for a lawyer. If you do that, you will be surprised how easily you will find a good firm, and you will also see that they can offer 100% Compensation for road traffic accident claims without any deductions.

If you have pictures of the accident scene, that will greatly increase the chances of success of your insurance accident claim. When the accident happens, if you have the possibility, get a camera and photograph everything and anything that could be relevant.

Any witness that saw what happened should be requested to give their contact information. They can be the ace in your sleeve in the process of settling a car accident claim. You may hear that any friends or family who may have seen or heard something in relation to your accident are not trusted or in some way reliable witnesses. It's not true. Many cases have been settled after it was verified that person related to witness was not at fault. The details of other people and vehicles involved in the accident must be carefully noted too.

All the records that have an importance for your car insurance claim must be carefully noted and kept safe, because you don't know when you'll need them. Medical assessments, police files and any negotiations that have been held with other parties, insurance agents etc, those can all be taken care off by a competent accident claim solicitor.

Any bills and receipts of costs that you had to pay because of the accident should also be stashed safely. One thing though: never try to fool the insurance companies with extra bills and extra receipts. If they realize it, they can disqualify your policy completely. A Compensation Recovery Unit (CRU) is in place to prevent fraud

Personal Insurance Accident Claims

Insurance polices can cover some of the cost or all of it. But to be safe as everyone knows there is something in the small print; get a personal injury solicitor to take care of your claim entirely, from A to Z. Depending on insurance companies each policy varies.

Yes, we might say that car insurance claims are difficult in nature, but let a solicitor take care of it as a legal firm will be of immense help in such complex affairs.

If you have had an accident that resulted in injury and property damage don’t put your faith into the hands of your insurance company, because you will get much smaller compensation, compared to what you can receive if you use the services of a good accident solicitor.
