Who may be able to claim
Claims are not limited to drivers. Passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists may also have a claim where another road user’s negligence caused injury. Different procedures may apply where the responsible driver is uninsured or cannot be traced.
What to do after a collision
Prioritise safety and medical attention. Where possible, obtain vehicle and insurance details, photographs, witness information and a clear record of the accident. Report the incident to the appropriate authorities and insurer when required.
Minor and serious injuries
Lower-value injury claims can follow specific online procedures, while serious injury cases often require detailed medical evidence, rehabilitation planning and careful assessment of future losses and care needs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I claim if I was a passenger?
Potentially, yes. A passenger injured because of a driver’s negligence may have a claim even if that driver was the person giving them a lift.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
There are routes for certain claims involving uninsured or untraced drivers, often through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. Eligibility and procedure should be checked promptly.
What losses can be included?
Depending on the case, damages can include injury, loss of earnings, treatment and rehabilitation, travel, care, property damage and other evidenced losses.
