After a road traffic accident, record the incident, collect witness and vehicle details, take photographs, and seek medical attention for any injuries. Report the accident to your insurer, even if you were not at fault, and avoid admitting liability before the facts are clear. You may be able to claim for injuries and financial losses, but the outcome depends on the evidence and circumstances. A solicitor regulated by the SRA can explain the process, funding options and usually applicable time limits, which are often three years for personal injury claims.
