Road Traffic Accidents
If you’re involved with a road traffic accident claim, let the highly-trained experts at DPP Law deal with all the legal issues surrounding road traffic accidents. Whether it is a rear-end claim, a hit and run accident or a whiplash claim. Our solicitors manage the entire process, from arranging your medical examination to achieving the best result to compensate for your injuries.
What to do after a road traffic accident
The best advice is to contact one of our expert personal injury claims solicitors as soon as possible after your accident.
We will guide you through the process, organising the medical assessment, filing your claim and managing all correspondence with insurance companies and defendants.
In some circumstances (for example, if you are making a compensation claim for a whiplash injury that is less than £5,000), you are expected to fill out an online claim form.
This can be complicated, and there’s a risk that filing errors could leave you out of pocket.
