Uppal Taylor Solicitors have a specialist team of personal injury solicitors who are able to advise Claimants and Defendants in respect of Road Traffic Accidents.

You may have been injured as a result of any of the following circumstances;

• Another car collided with your car for which you have suffered damage (to your car) and/or personal injury to include other losses such as a loss of earnings;
  
• You collided with another car and you believe this was not your fault but the other party has made a claim against you;
  
• You were the passenger in a car or vehicle involved in an accident;
  
• You were a pedestrian hit by a vehicle either whilst walking or on your bicycle.

Unless your injury was caused deliberately by the other party, which we can also advise you on; your claim will proceed under the law of negligence. All road users have a duty of care to other road users and pedestrians; this duty is simply not to cause them harm or injury through their actions. The allegations of negligence will differ from case to case but we will be able to advise you on these and prepare your claim.

You can claim compensation for psychological injury even if you have little or not physical injury. Our specialist solicitors will be able to advise you further. In some cases you may even be able to claim for psychological injuries even when there are no physical injuries.

Low Impact Claims

In some cases a collision may have occurred which is referred to as ‘low impact’; this may have caused little or no damage to your car.

However, such ‘low impact’ incidents do not necessarily mean that there is no injury. You may have suffered some injury and there may be resulting psychological trauma. Just because the accident was ‘low impact’ does not mean that you cannot bring a claim. Our specialist solicitors can advise you further.

Contributory Negligence

You may be thinking that you do not wish to make a claim because you consider yourself partly responsible for the accident. In these circumstances, even if this is the case, you may not be precluded from claiming and obtaining compensation. It will simply mean that your compensation is reduced by the amount you were considered to be at fault; if this cannot be agreed with the other party it will be decided by the Court.

What will my claim be worth?

This will depend on the injuries. However, for a guide you should consider our injury tariff calculator on the home page.
