A road traffic accident (RTA) claim is a way to seek compensation if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence on the road. These accidents can involve cars, motorcycles, cyclists, pedestrians, or other road users, and may lead to anything from minor injuries to life-changing conditions. Compensation can help cover medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and adjustments to your daily life. If another party was at fault, making a claim can provide the financial support needed to aid your recovery.
How much compensation you receive will depend on the type and severity of your injuries, as well as the financial losses you’ve experienced as a result. You usually have up to three years from the date of the accident, or from the date your injury was diagnosed, to bring a claim. Acting early ensures your case has the strongest chance of success.
