RTA Claims Process how it works?
At Royal Claims UK, we make the personal injury claims process straightforward, transparent, and stress-free. Our role is to assess your claim and connect you with experienced specialist solicitors from our trusted panel who can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
1. Free Claim Assessment
The first step is a free no-obligation assessment with our claims team. We carefully review the circumstances of your accident, injuries, and losses to determine whether your claim is valid and has a strong chance of success.
If we believe your case is genuine and winnable, we will recommend a specialist solicitor from our expert panel who has experience handling cases similar to yours.
Our panel solicitors deal with a wide range of claims including:
- Road traffic accidents
- Whiplash injuries
- Motorcycle accident claims
- Taxi and passenger injury claims
- Pedestrian accident claims
- Serious injury claims
2. Referral to an Expert Solicitor
Once you agree to proceed, your details will be passed to the most suitable solicitor for your case. Your solicitor will then contact you directly to:
- Explain the claims process
- Obtain the necessary paperwork and documentation
- Collect evidence relating to your accident
- Discuss any financial losses or expenses
- Confirm funding arrangements and agreements
The solicitor will formally open your claim and begin acting on your behalf. Specialist solicitors typically handle negotiations and legal procedures directly with the at-fault insurer.
3. Claim Submitted to the At-Fault Insurer
Your solicitor will notify the third-party insurer or defendant responsible for the accident and formally submit your personal injury claim through the appropriate legal process or claims portal.
This includes:
- Preparing the Claim Notification Form (CNF)
- Presenting evidence supporting liability
- Providing accident details and supporting documentation
The insurer will then investigate the claim and decide whether liability is admitted or disputed.
4. Independent Medical Examination
As part of the claims process, your solicitor will arrange for you to attend an independent medical assessment with a qualified medical expert.
The medical report helps determine:
- The extent of your injuries
- Recovery time
- Ongoing symptoms
- Future treatment requirements
- The overall value of your compensation claim
Once the report is completed, you will have the opportunity to review and approve it before it is submitted to the insurer. Medical evidence is a key part of valuing personal injury compensation claims.
5. Compensation Negotiation & Settlement
After your medical evidence has been approved, your solicitor will negotiate directly with the at-fault insurer to secure fair compensation for your injuries and financial losses.
Compensation may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of earnings
- Rehabilitation costs
- Travel expenses
- Vehicle-related losses
- Ongoing treatment costs
Most personal injury claims are settled through negotiation without the need for court proceedings.
6. Court Proceedings (If Required)
If the insurer disputes liability or refuses to offer fair compensation, your solicitor may issue court proceedings to protect your claim and allow the court to decide the outcome.
In these situations:
- A judge may determine who was at fault
- The court may decide the compensation amount
- Your solicitor will continue representing your interests throughout the process
However, the vast majority of claims are resolved before reaching a final court hearing.
