Thinking of pursuing a road traffic accident claim? 

Road traffic accidents can strike at any time. We know how devastating the impact can be, which is why we do everything we can to help you move past it and claim the compensation you deserve. 

Whether you’re the victim of a crash from a car, bike, or public transport vehicle, we’ll help you understand where you stand and calculate compensation for things like loss of earnings. Every stage is handled with care, while aiming for a quick, full payout. 

Our team will draw all the relevant evidence together, including arranging a medical report if needed from a MedCo-approved agency. By doing this, we make sure you get the best possible outcome from your claim.

Car Accident Claims 

Injured in a car crash, or the victim of vehicle damage? There are many points to prove in the courtroom that someone else was at fault. Optimal Solicitors will analyse the crash site, CCTV, police reports, and more to provide a strong legal basis for your road traffic accident claim.

Motorcycle Claims 

Riding a motorbike is risky at the best of times. That means you may have to fight even harder to build and win your case. We’ll determine if you were visible on the road, and if the other driver or pedestrian paid enough attention to you, so that you have the greatest chance of a successful claim.

FAQs

Do I actually need a road traffic accident solicitor? 

The likelihood is you’ll have a huge amount of evidence to gather and sift through – not to mention that you’ll need to prove the damages with medical records. Meanwhile, insurers and the police have to be contacted and kept up to date. The police report (a crucial piece of casework) should fall into place with everything else. 

While you can manage this yourself, it’s a big responsibility – and the likelihood of a successful outcome depends on your understanding of the laws around claiming compensation.

How long might a claim for a road traffic injury take? 

It depends on the severity of the injury and whether the property, vehicles, or drivers involved can be accounted for. Typically, in a simple case, you might get a payout after three or four months. Anything more complex could mean this takes up to six months or more. However, following a verdict, payments are usually processed within a few weeks. 

What information do you need from me? 

The more we have from the get-go, the faster we can reach a resolution. Hand us whatever information you have from the other party who caused the accident – name, phone number, and vehicle registration are a good start. The names of any witnesses are also useful, in addition to photographs from the scene. 

Shouldn’t I just use my insurer’s solicitor? 

Your own insurer may recommend a solicitor. However, you’re not obligated to take their advice. They might rush a case through for less than it’s worth, or take days to respond to your request for an update. It’s better to have an independent legal team on your side – someone who’s ready to listen and put your best interests first.
