What should I do if I’ve been involved in a car accident and suffered serious injuries?

If you have been involved in a car accident and suffered serious injuries, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. You should also consider consulting a personal injury solicitor to understand your rights and options for claiming compensation.

How do I start my car accident claim?

To start your car accident claim, contact Keenan Law to speak with one of our experienced car accident solicitors. They will guide you through the process, explain your options, and help you gather the necessary information to make your claim.

What information should I gather at the scene of the accident?

At the scene of the accident, gather contact and insurance details from all parties involved, take photos of the accident scene and vehicle damages, and collect contact information from any witnesses. This documentation is crucial for supporting your claim.

Can I claim compensation for a road traffic accident that occurred some time ago?

Yes, you can still claim compensation for a road traffic accident that occurred some time ago. However, it is important to act promptly as there is a 3 year limit in Northern Ireland to bring a personal injury claim. Contact Keenan Law to discuss your case and ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.

What should I do if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

If the insurance company offers you a settlement, it is advisable to consult with a solicitor before accepting it. At Keenan Law, our solicitors can review the offer to ensure it fairly compensates you for your losses. Accepting a settlement without legal advice may result in receiving less compensation than you are entitled to.

Keenan Law’s experienced solicitors can guide you through every step of the car accident claim process, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies. We aim to maximise your compensation and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

What are the benefits of hiring a car accident claim solicitor?

Hiring a solicitor can provide several benefits, including expert negotiation with insurance companies, thorough documentation of your case, and maximising your compensation. Solicitors understand the legal complexities and can advocate on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.

What should I do if I am contacted by the other party’s insurance company?

Following a car accident, you may be put in touch with your insurance company’s solicitor. They may advise you that you must use them under the terms of your insurance.

This is not the case. It is vitally important that you feel comfortable with your solicitor and we would always advise to reach out to an independent solicitor before feeling pushed into representation.
