What do you do in a Non Fault Accident. Learn about the three current ways to claim compensation and decide which one is best you you.

What do you do when you are involved in a non-fault accident?

None of us expects to be involved in a non-fault accident, so it’s not something that we prepare for. But it can happen to anyone at any time, and until it’s happened to you, you don’t know how you will react, and that can also depend on the circumstances. We would all like to think that we’d keep a clear head but an accident is one of the most stressful things that can happen to us and shock affects different people in different ways.

Think about it; one moment you’re going about your business, maybe on your way to work or a meeting, taking the kids to school or just heading for the shops, then somebody runs into the back of your car. Suddenly, your plans have gone out the window and your day is ruined. You are faced with the other driver who is also stressed and might be trying to blame you, possibly aggressively. Depending on the severity of the incident, the police may have been called and will be taking statements. What are you supposed to do?

What is an Accident Management Company?

It is a legal requirement to have a minimum level of insurance to drive on the roads, and quite rightly so. We don’t expect to be involved in an accident but accidents do happen and our car insurance covers us against that eventuality.

We expect them to deal with all of the implications and get us back on the road and to where we were before the accident.

However, what if you were in a Non-Fault accident? Should you be inconvenienced by somebody else’s carelessness? No, of course, you shouldn’t, and this is where an accident management company comes in. They specialise in non-fault accidents and they will deal with your claim from start to finish. Being involved in an accident is stressful enough. Your accident management company will ensure that you suffer the least disruption.

For people who are lucky enough to have never been involved in a non-fault accident, there are several misconceptions about making a non-fault accident claim through your insurance company.

Here are some of the popular falsehoods about non-fault accident insurance claims:

A non-fault accident won’t cost me anything

When you take out insurance you can get a lower premium by choosing a higher voluntary excess. This is the first part of any claim that the policyholder has to pay whether or not the accident was your fault. So, apart from the financial burden, you will have to spend the time and suffer the inconvenience of trying to claim that back.

Why Choose Accident Management Company over Your Insurer for Non-Fault Claims?

If you are deemed to be at fault in an accident, or it is considered to be 50-50 whereby both parties are equally to blame, you would of course claim from your insurance company. After all, that’s what you pay your annual premium for.

Do Claims Management Companies get More Compensation?

Once you have decided to make a personal injury claim you will be hoping that you will be awarded a fair amount of compensation for the injury that you have sustained.

What is the difference between using my Insurance Company and a Claims Management Company?

What is the difference between using my Insurance Company and a Claims Management Company for my personal injury claim? Let us talk about both routes,,,,,

I have had a personal injury what is the difference between using my Insurance Company and a Claims Management Company?

When you sustain an injury that isn’t your fault it is likely that the insurance company you are dealing with will want to settle your claim with you quickly to avoid a lengthy process which is almost certainly going to end up with you receiving more compensation.

The problem with settling early is that you may not yet realise the full extent of your injuries, or have had the chance to have a proper medical examination, and this means that your claim will be undervalued by the insurance company due to lack of medical evidence.

Using a Claims Management Company will give you the time and freedom to collect evidence about your injury and make sure that you know exactly how you have been affected by the accident that you were involved in. They will also be able to use their personal injury expertise to advise you on your claim and suggest what level of compensation you could be entitled to and how to achieve this.

Why do call centres call me? And how do call centres obtain my information?

Ok, we’ve all done it, had that call and hung up after realising it’s another call centre? Or continued the call to question how they have received our contact details but how do call centres obtain my information? Well, let me explain…

Call centres thrive off money. Without money, there’s no business. So you may wonder, how do they make their money? Call centres usually get paid a percentage of the total claim. Either from yourself under a NO WIN, NO FEE claim or they get paid directly from the claims management company that will be dealing with your claim.

There are three types of call centres that work around Personal Injury Claims.

One of which work directly for the claims management companies, the second who work in conjunction with the claims management companies and the third who will sell your information onto a claims management company to complete your claim.

Who will give me the best personal injury claim advice; my Insurance Company or a Claims Management Company?

Making a personal injury claim can be confusing and sometimes just knowing that you can contact someone who will be able to offer useful advice can be enough to take the stress out of the process.

Both your Insurance Company and a Claims Management Company will have plenty of experience in dealing with personal injury claims and will be able to use the knowledge gained in previous cases to help you with your own claim.

Personal Injury Claim, is there a time limit on claiming? | Logical Reasoning

The thought of starting a Personal Injury Claim seems a lot of hassle but as long as you choose the right route for you then your claim will run smoothly.

Like most of us, the thought of starting a Personal Injury Claim seems a lot of hassle. As long as you choose the right route for you, then your claim will run smoothly. Although there are important points for you to take into consideration before going ahead with your claim, including time limits to make your claim.

Most injury claims have a strict time limit policy for the claim, set out by the Limitation Act 1980. Which would require that court proceedings would have to commence within three years of the date of the injury or accident? Failure to commence a court action within the required time limit would mean that your compensation becomes time-barred or salute barred which may prevent you from claiming the rightful amount of compensation in your Personal Injury Claim.

REMEMBER that this limitation period also covers injuries caused as a result of exposure to harmful substances or the development of a workplace injury such as vibration white finger, or asbestos-related diseases.

We can’t stress enough how vital it is that you seek expert advice as soon as possible. This is to prevent your compensation claim becoming time-barred before you can start proceedings.
