Do you have a case?

The first thing you may need to do is determine whether you could go ahead and make a personal injury claim for compensation. When deciphering whether you have a strong case, you could ask yourself the following three questions:

  • Who caused the accident? Was it an entity that was responsible for my health and well being?
  • Was there a breach in the care of duty that was owed to me?
  • Did this breach cause the accident to occur which subsequently caused my suffering?
  • Did I see a medical professional for my injuries?

It is vital that someone else is responsible for the incident; you certainly cannot make an accident claim if you were to blame. Aside from this, the accident should have happened within the last three years in most cases, as this is the time limit on most personal injury cases. However, time limits for accident claims may vary so you might wish to contact us for advice.

Furthermore, it may be wise to have a medical professional examine your injuries too, as this could provide a source of evidence. You will see an independent doctor as part of the claims process but by then you may have recovered from your suffering so always seek medical attention at the time of the incident.

If you need more advice or assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our panel of accident claims solicitors. There are a number of different ways you could reach us if you’re thinking about working with accident claims solicitors covering Coventry, as you may find within the guide.

Could accident claims solicitors covering Coventry help with low value whiplash claims?

The Whiplash Reforms Programme, which came into force at the end of May 2021, means that claiming for what are known as ‘low value soft tissue injuries’ has changed. After the government brought these changes in, it meant that claimants with injuries valued between £1000 and £5000 would need to make their claims using a government portal. Not only was a ban put in place for claiming without medical evidence, but the way in which these claims are compensated for now runs according to a government tariff. In addition to all this, no legal costs are recoverable from the at-fault party. If you have what you believe to be a low value soft tissue injury claim from a road traffic accident, our personal injury solicitors covering Coventry could still help you. It may be that your injury is worse than you initially thought, or you might have to claim in accordance with the reform programme.

If you could prove that a data controller did not adhere to the Data Protection Act 2018, which enshrines in law the application of GDPR, the strongest data privacy and security law in the world, you could be eligible to claim.
