FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I do immediately after a road traffic accident?

Ensure your safety first. Move your vehicle to a safe location if possible and switch off the engine. Check for injuries and ensure everyone involved is safe. Take a moment to stay calm, then begin gathering key information—such as the other driver’s details, vehicle registration, witness accounts, and photos of the scene. This will support a non-fault claim if applicable.

What qualifies as a road traffic accident?

A road traffic accident refers to any incident involving vehicles on public roads that results in injury, property damage, or both. This includes collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or stationary objects.

Can I still make a claim if I was partially at fault?

Yes, you may still be eligible for compensation under a “split liability” claim. The compensation amount would reflect the level of responsibility shared between both parties.

How much compensation can I receive for my injuries?

The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and other related damages. Each case is evaluated individually to determine a fair settlement.

Can I still make a claim if I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt?

Can I still make a claim if I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt?
