When going about your daily routine there is nothing more unexpected than being involved in a road traffic accident. Road accidents occur in their thousands each year effecting not only drivers, but pedestrians and cyclists alike. According to the Road Safety Authority car drivers, pedestrians, and car passengers are most at risk, followed by goods vehicle drivers and motor cyclists. As such there can be much confusion about who is entitled to make a claim in the event of an accident. Although not all parties must have insurance as road users, all are covered by law. Those whom are exempt from insurance cover include; car passenger’s, cyclists and pedestrians: however if involved in an accident leading to injury as a pedestrian cyclist or car passenger you are still entitled to make a claim. This is often misunderstood by road users. Making a personal injury compensation claim can sometimes prove difficult, particularly when there is a dispute regarding who is at fault. In the event of a car collision insurance companies will often try to settle the case outside of court. However, this does not mean that you should feel pressured to accept an offer of compensation or to pay out if you believe another third party to be at fault. In such circumstance where you are feeling pressured or unsure it is always best to seek legal advice, in this case road traffic accident solicitors. A road traffic accident solicitor is a soliciting firm that specializes in personal injury claims but more specific road accident compensation claims. A specialised personal injury soliciting firm will provide you with all the information and guidance you require regarding your claim, and if you decide to proceed further, he or she can represent you in court. In order to make a successful case there is much information that will be required of you. Firstly a personal statement of events signed and dated by you at the nearest possible time of the incident. Followed by any eye witness reports you can obtain, Gardaí reports, and medical reports / records. When making a personal injury claim, you may wish to have your loss of earnings up to that point and possible future earning that may be lost as a result of injury considered. If your claim is in dispute your solicitor may advise you to settle outside of court. However where your claim is strong you will most likely be advised to proceed. Your solicitor will aim to achieve the highest award of compensation for you loss and suffering, however pending on the severity of your injuries and loss there is a capped amount of compensation which can be awarded to you.
