Vanessa Williams If you have been unlucky enough to find yourself in a situation whereby an accident caused by another driver’s negligence has left you injured and your car damaged then you might consider employing a road accident solicitor to act on your behalf. There are two reasons why you might consider this. The first is that the offers of settlement made by the responsible driver’s insurance company might not be as high as what you are entitled to and what a road accident solicitor might be able to win for you. The second is that taking legal advice will give you more time to concentrate on your recovery whilst someone else handles the stress of the accident claim.
Giving the road accident solicitor as much information as you possibly can will help your claim. In the event of the accident itself it is a good idea to take photos on a mobile phone or draw a sketch of the scene and how the accident came to pass. You should also try to note down the details of any witnesses who would be prepared to be contacted if necessary. Be warned, do not try to take statements from them, your solicitor can do this later.
In the days, weeks and months that follow, your road accident solicitor will seek to understand how your injury is affecting you. Keep a log of any medical appointments you attend and their outcomes as well as the names of those treating you. Record the medications you are prescribed and keep a recovery diary.
The financial impact of the accident can be far reaching for you and your family, especially if you are the main earner and cannot work. Therefore you should make a note of any expenses incurred as a result of the accident and keep receipts. This could include costs of prescriptions and transport now that your car is off the road as well as the time you have missed at work and will allow your road accident solicitor to build up an idea of how the accident has impacted on your finances.
