What Is a Road Traffic Accident Claim?

A road traffic accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you were injured in a collision caused by another party’s negligence. This can involve cars, lorries, buses, taxis, motorbikes, bicycles, or pedestrians.

If you’ve been injured in the last three years because of someone else’s fault, LITKRAFT can help you start your claim and get the support you need to recover.

Who Can Claim After a Road Traffic Accident?

You may be entitled to compensation whether you were:
• A driver or passenger in a vehicle involved in a crash
• A pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist hit by another road user
• Travelling in public transport, a taxi, or as a passenger in another vehicle
• The victim of a hit-and-run or an accident with an uninsured driver

Most claims are handled through insurers, including the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) in cases of uninsured or untraced drivers.

What You Can Claim For

    • Care and assistance (paid or family support)
    • Repair or replacement of vehicles and personal items
    • Travel costs and other out-of-pocket expenses

How Much Compensation Could You Get?

Every road traffic accident claim is unique. The amount of compensation you may receive depends on:
• The medical evidence of your injury and how long recovery takes
• Any loss of earnings and the impact on your future income
• The effect on your daily life, independence and wellbeing
• The cost of treatment, rehabilitation and ongoing care
• Travel and repair costs linked to the accident

Your solicitor will calculate the value of your claim using medical reports, financial records and the official Judicial College Guidelines (JCG), ensuring your compensation reflects the true impact of the accident on your life.

Reviews

Over 93% of our clients come to us through personal recommendation. With more than £51 million recovered and 15+ years of experience, our results speak for themselves — but we’d rather let our clients speak for us.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.

If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.

Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
