The more information that you can gather at the scene of an accident, the better. Note down as many details as you can including the other party's insurance details and the names and addresses of any witnesses.
If your mobile phone has a camera, take some photographs - of the scene in general and the damage to the vehicles.
Even after a minor accident you should call the Police - the person who caused the accident may have committed a criminal offence, or he/she may admit being to blame at the scene but deny it later. In addition, the Police report may help in the pursuit of your claim.


Approximately 1 in every 20 drivers is uninsured, and uninsured drivers are, statistically, far more likely to be involved in accidents than insured drivers.

If you are unlucky enough to be involved in an accident with an uninsured driver you may still be able to claim for any injury you suffer as a result. In such a case we would forward your claim to the Motor Insurers' Bureau. It is still important that you try to obtain the other driver's personal details after the accident.

Work out how you have been affected by your injuries and/or the loss of your vehicle.
Are you able to work?
Can you still manage around the house?
Are you able to enjoy your favourite sports and recreational activities?
Have you had to pay for repairs or medical treatment?
Keep a note of every way in which you have been affected.

Personal injury is a complex area of the law. It is important that you appoint someone who has the proper qualifications and experience  to deal with your case.

There are many "claims" companies operating on the high street and the Internet.  In many cases these are simply unqualified middlemen whose main interest is in obtaining a percentage of your compensation.  No reputable solicitor will take any part of your compensation.
