MCP Solicitors' Guide To Road Traffic Accidents
Whether as a driver, pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist or passenger statistics show that you will probably be involved in at least one road traffic accident during your lifetime.
MCP Solicitors' Personal Injury lawyers can help you claim for your road traffic accident. The accident may have caused just bruising or whiplash or maybe something more serious, but our lawyers are experienced and understanding when dealing with your claim.
Doesn't my insurance already provide legal protection?
Many people now have legal insurance cover included in their motor insurance policy but the insurer will almost certainly instruct one of their panel solicitors to act.
However, this solicitor will almost certainly not be local and you will not be able to meet them in person. You do not have to accept this. You may prefer to use a local firm, such as MCP Solicitors, with whom you can have face to face contact. The cost of this would usually still be covered by your insurers.
If you do not have legal insurance cover then we provided the case has merit we are happy to act on a "No Win No Fee" basis and in the vast majority of cases you will receive 100% of any compensation awarded.
What if the other driver was uninsured or could not be found?
If you are injured by a motorist who was uninsured or you are involved in a hit and run case then a claim can be made to the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) under their uninsured or untraced drivers' agreements.
Why is it so important to visit a doctor after the accident?
When claiming for road traffic injuries it is important that you have received medical attention so that the pain and suffering is sufficiently documented as evidence that the accident was the cause of your symptoms.
