FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CAR ACCIDENT CLAIMS
1. Who can make a claim after a car accident?

5. How long do I have to claim after a car accident?
In the UK, you have to make a car accident claim within three years from the day of your accident. The sooner you seek legal advice, the less time it will take to prepare your claim for compensation. Although there are very few exceptions to the three-year limit, it’s best to contact Thompsons Solicitors as soon as possible to start your claim.
6. How much compensation will I get from a car accident claim?
Your car accident injury settlement amount will depend on the extent of your injuries and the financial, physical and emotional impact it has had on you and your family.
Our expert solicitors can give you an idea of how much car accident compensation you are likely to receive after reviewing your case, however, we’ll fight hard to secure the maximum amount possible.
7. If I make a car accident claim, how long will it take to get my compensation?
The length of time it takes to settle your car crash injury claim depends on the type of claim and the details of your case.
If your claim is contested it will take longer. A claim involving serious injuries will also take more time but we can make an application for an interim payment to make sure your financial needs are covered while we conclude your car accident injury claim.
8. Why should I choose Thompsons Solicitors to make a car accident claim?
Thompsons Solicitors will always represent individuals who wish to claim after a car accident, and never the car insurance industry, or insurers in general.
