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.
