Car Accident Personal Injury

If you have had a car accident that was not your fault your immediate concern will be to recover from any personal injury you may have suffered.

Duncan Gibbins Solicitors can help you by working hard for you on your compensation claim, managing the recovery and repair of your vehicle, arranging car hire and liaising with your insurers. We can also act on behalf of any passengers in your vehicle.

Car accident claims not only cover drivers of vehicles but also passengers, whether they are in the vehicle at fault for the accident or another vehicle; cyclists, motorcyclists, bus passengers and also pedestrians.

Road traffic accidents are the most common personal injury claim that is brought and here at Duncan Gibbins Solicitors we have a vast knowledge of dealing with these types of claims, whether they involve minor whiplash type injuries or severe life altering injuries.

In bringing a claim for a road traffic accident not only can Duncan Gibbins Solicitors help you claim for the injuries you have suffered and the damage that has been caused to your vehicle, but we can also look to recover loss of earnings if you have not been able to work. If personal items were damaged as a result of the road traffic accident it may be possible to make a claim for these as well.

Road traffic accidents can range from rear end shunts to more complicated accidents where it isn’t always clear who was at fault for an accident.

If you feel that you may be partially to blame for an accident that does not stop you from making a successful claim. Here at Duncan Gibbins Solicitors we can look at all the relevant factors of how the road traffic accident occurred and advise you how best to take the claim forward.

People often feel reluctant to make a claim for personal injury compensation when they have been a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone they know and that driver is the one that caused the accident. Our team of solicitors recognise the sensitive nature of such cases and are here to reassure you. It is important to remember that it will be the insurance company that pays the compensation and not the driver themselves.

We have successfully handled claims for passengers that were not only passengers in cars but also in buses, coaches, taxis and mini-buses.

There is a common misconception that if the accident you were involved in was caused by the negligent driving of an untraced or insured driver you are not able to make a claim for compensation. The Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) was established to deal with these types of road traffic accident claims and will pay out the compensation you are entitled to.

Our team of specialist solicitors are committed to getting to the bottom of what happened to you and above all will provide you with the support and guidance you need throughout your claim.
