If you have been involved in an accident that was not your own fault, then you might want to make a compensation claim. You are entitled to some money if you can prove that the accident was not your own fault.
Most people would use a solicitor to help them with this. Getting in touch with an accident claim company, should therefore, be the first thing that you do. They will be able to tell you whether they can deal with cases like yours and if they are prepared to takes yours on. There are a lot of companies like this around and so it can be a good idea to contact a selection of them so that you can pick the one that you think will be the best for you. This could take some time, but it will be worth it, when you find one that you can really trust to do the best possible job.
You then can just sit back and relax. You can let them get on with gathering the data and evidence that they need for the case and concentrate on getting better and fully recovering from your injury. They may need you to give them a bit of information from time to time but that is all.
They may even be able to settle out of court if the other party agree that the accident was their fault and everyone can agree on a compensation amount. Otherwise it will go to court and it will be up to the judge to decide whose fault it is and exactly how much money should be awarded.
Whichever way things go, it should not make a big difference to you, because your solicitor will deal with it all for you anyway.
