If you are worried about incurring costs against a friend or a family member you should note that the costs for paying your compensation will not come directly from them. Instead, the insurance company will pay for any compensation you are owed. The person you are claiming against may lose their no claims bonus or face higher insurance costs in the future due to causing an accident. However, if you have experienced an accident you should not fear making a claim as it is important that you do not greatly suffer or experience a lower quality of life for an incident that was not your fault. 

Claims and Insurance Companies

An insurance company does not automatically provide compensation once a claim is issued against them. An investigation will first be launched by the insurance company to examine the exact cause of the accident, which will include looking at evidence such as witness reports and police files. A personal injury lawyer can greatly assist by issuing the initial claim and providing legal representation. First Personal Injury has a team of experts on hand.

Calculating Compensation

Compensation is awarded for the severity of your injuries and the impact that they have had upon your life. However, other costs such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work or travel expenses relating to your accident may be able to be recuperated through compensation.  To find out how much compensation you could potentially be owed use our compensation calculator.
