What is involved in the car accident claim process?

Whatever your car accident claim in Manchester involves, our lawyers will handle your case with our simple but effective five-step process. We’ll begin with a free initial assessment, where we’ll work to understand the details of your accident, assess the strength of your claim and start to put together a plan. Next, our team will collect evidence to support your claim – this typically includes things like police reports, medical records and witness statements. We’ll also arrange for you to have an independent medical examination, which will give us insight into your injuries, the kind of treatment you need and your long-term prognosis. At this stage, we’ll then move on to negotiating with the relevant insurance companies. In our experience, the majority of claims can be successfully resolved at this point; if it turns out a court appearance is necessary to settle your case, we’ll be on hand to guide you through every stage of the process, so you’re well informed and supported throughout.

Car Accident Claims FAQs

How much compensation could I receive?

Compensation is calculated based on the specific circumstances of your case, including the severity of your injuries, their long-term impact on your life, any financial losses, and your future care and support needs. For serious injuries with lasting consequences, settlements can be significant. We draw on our experience of similar cases to give you a realistic picture as your claim develops, and we build the strongest possible case to pursue the maximum compensation available to you.

Can I claim if my injuries are serious or life-changing?

Yes, and if your injuries are severe, it's even more important to have specialist legal representation. Serious injury claims, such as those involving spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, or permanent disability, require detailed medical evidence, long-term care assessments, and experienced negotiation with insurers. We have the expertise and professional network, including independent medical specialists and rehabilitation consultants, to handle complex, high-value cases and ensure your compensation reflects not just your immediate losses, but the full long-term picture.

What's the difference between a minor and a serious car accident claim?

Minor claims usually involve injuries that resolve within a defined timeframe, such as whiplash or soft-tissue damage, and follow a relatively straightforward legal process. Serious injury claims involve injuries with permanent or long-term consequences, including cognitive, physical, or psychological impairment, and require significantly more detailed evidence, expert input, and negotiation. The compensation involved is also considerably higher, and the process takes longer. We handle both types of claim, but our experience with serious and complex cases means we know how to build the most robust case possible when the stakes are at their highest.

How long will my car accident claim take?

Straightforward claims can typically be resolved within six to twelve months. Cases involving more serious injuries, disputed liability, or complex ongoing treatment will take longer. Whatever your circumstances, we prioritise both thoroughness and efficiency, and we'll keep you updated throughout so you always know where your case stands.

What kind of evidence will be used to support my claim?

A strong claim draws on multiple evidence sources: police reports, witness statements, medical records, photographs, and CCTV footage where available. In serious injury cases, independent medical examinations and specialist reports are particularly important, these establish the full extent of your injuries, the treatment required, and your long-term prognosis. We'll work with you to identify and secure the most relevant evidence for your specific circumstances.

How much will it cost to pursue a car accident claim?

In most cases, we're able to offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement, so there are no upfront costs and no financial risk if your claim doesn't succeed. We explain exactly how our fees work before anything begins, no hidden costs, no surprises.
