Car Accident Claims in Sheffield

Car accidents can cause a vast range of injuries, from minor sprains and strains to very serious and permanent damage to our limbs or brains. Yet irrespective of the severity of an injury, if a road traffic accident was caused by another person’s negligence, the law entitles us to claim compensation for the loss we have suffered as a result.

When making a car accident claim, not only is it possible to claim for the pain and suffering caused by the actual injury itself. Compensation can also be recovered for other losses we incur because of the accident. Costs such as fixing damage to a car, or any loss of earnings as a result of having to take time away from work while injuries heal. It is also possible to claim for future loss of earnings if an injury is particularly severe and affected the ability to work.

  • Head and brain injuries – these tend to be the most serious and have the most potential to result in long-lasting or permanent damage.

  • Back injuries – any spinal cord or disc damage is likely to cause nerve damage that in very severe cases can result in permanent paralysis.
  • Chest injuries – broken ribs, collapsed lungs, traumatic cardiac arrest, internal bleeding and damage to internal organs are all serious chest injuries that are regularly caused by car accidents.

How to Make a Car Accident Claim?

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, making a claim for compensation involves building and mounting a personal injury claim and following specific legal procedures. Our expert car accident solicitors** based in Sheffield will do this on your behalf, using their specialist expertise and knowledge of the local area, so your claim proceeds smoothly. Amongst other things, they will carry out a detailed investigation into the circumstances of your car accident and injuries. This involves talking to various witnesses and experts on your behalf, and contacting the person responsible for your injury. They will build the strongest case possible to give your car accident claim the best chance of success.

Perhaps one of the most crucial elements of making a car accident claim, other than establishing causation and liability, is ensuring you receive the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled. The party responsible for the accident, or more likely their insurer, is likely to want to minimise the amount of compensation they pay. A specialist car accident solicitor** will be able to assess the total amount of compensation you are entitled to and make sure the other side don’t attempt to give you less than the full amount you can legally claim.
