Why Make a Car Accident Claim?

A car accident claim allows you to recover compensation for injuries, property damage, and any financial losses sustained due to the collision. To build a strong case, it is essential to demonstrate that the other party was at fault by acting negligently and failing in their duty of care.

Whether you were the driver or a passenger, you have the right to claim compensation for the harm caused. Our experienced lawyers will work tirelessly to ensure your claim is handled with expertise and efficiency, giving you the best chance at achieving a favorable outcome.

At HPA Solicitors, we are committed to providing compassionate, professional legal support tailored to your needs, helping you confidently move forward after an accident.

Eligibility for Car Accident Claims

Drivers

Passengers
As a passenger injured in a car accident, you may also be entitled to claim compensation. This could be against the driver of the vehicle you were in or another party responsible for the collision. Our team is here to help you navigate the process and secure the justice you deserve.

Time Limits & Compensation

Seeking legal advice promptly after an accident is crucial to building a strong claim. Different timeframes apply depending on the claimant’s age:

• For Minors:
  Injured individuals under the age of 18 have until their 18th birthday to start a claim. After turning 18, they have an additional three years, up to their 21st birthday, to pursue compensation.

• For Adults:
  Adults must file their claim within three years from the date of the accident, as this is the legal limitation period.
