If you’ve been injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you could be entitled to compensation. Royal Claims connects you with expert personal injury solicitors to help you get the settlement you deserve for your injuries, vehicle damage, and other losses..
How Our RTA Claims Service Works
Free Initial Assessment: Tell us about your accident in a simple, no-obligation phone call. We’ll quickly assess if you have a valid case.
No Win No Fee: If your case is suitable, we will refer you to an expert personal injury solicitor from our panel. They will act for you on a No Win, No Fee basis (known as a Conditional Fee Agreement). This means if your claim is not successful, you won’t pay their legal fees.*
Your Solicitor Handles Everything: Your dedicated solicitor will manage the entire process for you. This includes gathering evidence, dealing with the other driver’s insurers, and arranging medical assessments.
Receive Your Compensation: Your solicitor will negotiate the best possible settlement for you. Compensation can cover pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical costs, and vehicle repair costs.
What to Do Immediately After a Road Traffic Accident
Your safety and the safety of others is the top priority. Following these steps can protect your well-being and strengthen any subsequent claim for compensation.
Step 1: Stop & Ensure Safety
You must stop. It is an offence to drive away from the scene of an accident.
Switch on your hazard lights.
Check yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone is seriously hurt, call 999 immediately for an ambulance and the police.
Step 2: Report to the Police (If Necessary)
You must report the accident to the police within 24 hours if:
Anyone is injured.
The other driver leaves the scene without providing their details.
You suspect the other driver is under the influence of drink or drugs.
The other driver has not produced valid insurance documents.
Step 3: Exchange Details
Remain calm and polite. Exchange the following information with the other driver(s) involved:
Name and address
Telephone number
Vehicle registration number
Insurance details (insurer and policy number)
Avoid doing this:
Do not admit fault or liability at the scene. This can complicate your claim later. Simply stick to the facts.
Do not get into a confrontation.
Step 4: Gather Evidence (Crucial for Your Claim)
The more evidence you can collect, the stronger your claim will be.
Take Photos & Videos: Use your mobile phone to capture:
The positions of all vehicles involved before they are moved.
The damage to all vehicles from multiple angles.
The wider scene, including road markings, traffic signs, skid marks, and weather conditions.
Any visible injuries (e.g., cuts, bruising).
Note Down Details:
The time, date, and exact location of the accident.
The make, model, and colour of the other vehicle(s).
The name and badge number of any police officers who attend.
Look for Witnesses:
Ask any bystanders or other motorists who saw what happened if they would be willing to provide a statement. Politely ask for their name and contact number.
Step 5: Report to Your Insurer.
You must inform your insurance company about the accident, even if you are not at fault and do not intend to make a claim through them. Check your policy for the required timeframes.
Step 6: Seek Legal Advice
Even if you feel fine, some injuries like whiplash can take hours or days to become apparent.
Contact us for a free, no-obligation assessment of your case. We can refer you to an expert personal injury solicitor who can advise you on your right to claim compensation for your injuries, vehicle damage, and other losses like lost earnings.
