What is a road traffic accident?

A road traffic accident is a collision involving a vehicle on a road or other public space. These accidents often result in damage or injury to a person, animal, property or another vehicle.

Victims of road traffic accidents can claim for injury or damage to their car or property. You could be entitled to compensation if you were driving, a passenger, walking, or riding a bicycle, for example, when you sustained injuries.

How much compensation could I receive?

Although the amount of compensation for each claim and type of injury varies dramatically, we can give you a rough estimate. Using our compensation calculator, we’ll use a few small details to give you an idea of what you might be entitled to.

Keep 100% of your compensation

At PM Law, we want you to keep 100% of your compensation when you use our services. We don’t operate a no win no fee service because we don’t need to – the most important thing for us is that you get the compensation you’re entitled to.
